I am really surprised and saddened at some of the negative reviews. Unto the Hills was beautifully written, performed, and serious for those with Cherokee blood. This is not some made up fiction play put out there for entertainment but a production in hopes that people learn of the sorrowful history of the Cherokee people. The wars, the exile, and... more

My hat is off to the Cherokees for retooling the show to "better tell the story" and for taking ownership of its production. But, the execution is poor. I was reminded of sitting through a high school drama class production of a standard play. You know that the story is good; You know that play can be properly produced; You... more

Though well intentioned, this amateur performance is frankly embarrassing and at $22 a ticket is a rip off. Save your money and see the outstanding museum, which tells the Cherokee people's story AND is professionally done.

Compared to several years ago, when the... more

I don't know what it was like before they re-tooled the script, but I think they need to do some re-drafting. I was really looking forward to the show. I even ordered my tickets months in advance. By intermission my husband was ready to leave. He thought it was so bad that he just wanted to go. We went to... more

Our two teens liked "Unto These Hills", but my wife and I thought it a bit cheesy. We had hoped for a more authentic experience, especially since the play has been "re-worked and updated" recently to reflect a more ethnocentric drama. more
