The Experience: The Great American Chuckwagon Dinner Show & Outdoor Drama Show


Saddle up, partner, for a rip-roarin’ evening at The Great American Chuckwagon & Outdoor Drama in Branson, MO, where the spirit of the Wild West comes alive! Like a scene straight out of The Magnificent Seven, this experience at the Shepherd of the Hills Historic Homestead serves up a hearty cowboy feast and an unforgettable show that’ll have you hootin’ and hollerin’ like you’re ridin’ with the Duke himself.

Start: Kick-off at 5:00 PM with The Great American Chuckwagon Dinner Show, where the dinner bell signals a spread of smoked brisket, BBQ pulled pork, cowboy beans, corn on the cob, a fluffy yeast roll, and peach cobbler—washed down with your choice of beverage. As you dig in, the Riders of Circle B, featuring Michael Horn, his kids, and mandolinist Samuel Clanton, fill the Playhouse Theatre with classic cowboy tunes, dueling fiddles, gun-twirling, and side-splitting comedy that’d make Blazing Saddles proud. It’s a family-friendly hoedown that sets the stage for a night of Ozark adventure.

After supper, mosey over to the Adventure Park (open two hours before the show) with your included ticket for a self-guided tour of the Historic Park, mini golf, or Lil’ Pete’s Playland & Petting Zoo. Come 8:00 PM, the Outdoor Drama unfolds on a football-field-sized stage, bringing Harold Bell Wright’s 1907 novel The Shepherd of the Hills to life. Over 90 actors, horses, mules, and donkeys reenact a tale of love, mystery, and shoot-outs in the rugged Ozarks, complete with a cabin set ablaze—think True Grit with a touch of heart. This show is a time machine to the late 1800s, where the moral grit of the frontier still rings true.

This adventurous dinner show delivers a full evening of cowboy chow, music, and drama, plus park perks that make it a steal for families, veterans (50% off all season), or anyone hankerin’ for authentic Branson fun. Whether you’re a greenhorn or a seasoned trail rider, this experience is your ticket to the heart of the American West. So grab your hat, round up the posse, and head to Shepherd of the Hills for a night that’ll leave you ridin’ high.
