This will be the second year for the region's only historical dinner theater, bringing Cherokee history to life from the 1700s and 1800s. During this interactive experience, the audience steps back in time with us, becomes part of the show and watches as history unfolds before their eyes. Highly acclaimed by audience members and critics alike, "Under the Cherokee Moon" was given high marks for historical accuracy by Cherokee historians.
