Thursday, June 17th is opening night for the outdoor drama “Tecumseh!”, as it opens season 49, after being closed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Scioto Society CEO Brandon Smith says this year’s cast is scaled-down to 38 people, compared to as many as 75 in some of their biggest seasons of cast members.
The story will be no less epic, using “new pyro and lighting techniques” to keep the show’s big production feel.
Smith says the first night they turned the lights and sound on at the amphitheater after being turned off for two years, it was a stirring experience- “It was surprisingly emotional for me and I think for everyone there just to see, and there wasn’t even any actors there yet.”
Pre-sale tickets have been “off the charts” according to Smith, and Thursday’s opening night is a sell-out, with limited seating still in place to start the season.
Mask wearing is optional for spectators, except when they are in the gift shop area, due to its “tight space quarters”.
Showtimes are 8pm, Monday through Saturday.
The Behind the Scenes Tour will return this year, beginning at 3:15pm and the final tour starting at 5:30pm on a first come-first serve basis.
Early visitors can also experience the thrill of throwing a tomahawk at a wooden target with our partnership with Southern Ohio Axe Throwing. Highly trained and experienced experts will be with you through the whole process, training you and ensuring the safety of you and those around you. Throwers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Only 26 people per night can participate, so space limited.
The Snack Shack will be open, but there will be no buffet this season.
Tickets are available online at Tecumsehdram.com or by calling (740) 775-0700.

The outdoor drama “Tecumseh!” returns June 17th for its 49th season, after a year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The production will be using the 30% outdoor seating capacity outlined by the State of Ohio, according to Scioto Society Producer Brandon Smith. He says this will mean a maximum seating capacity of approximately 500 people for the Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre.
Smith says this will make it even more important for spectators getting their tickets in advance through the ticket office, which is www.tecumsehdrama.com or by calling (740) 775-0700.
Jamie Pla will be the new lead of Chief Tecumseh with Brent Gibbs back as the director.
The show opens June 17th and runs through September 5th and runs Mondays through Saturdays at 8pm.

The Scioto Society has a new face in the lead role as “Tecumseh!”, going to a returning cast member now in his second season.
Jaime Pla has earned the role as the Shawnee chief, as the outdoor drama returns to the Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre after being sidelined last summer due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The Scioto Society’s social media site says; “Jamie Pla was born to a Puerto Rican family in Phoenix, Arizona. Surrounded by a quiet suburbia, he found excitement and escape through stories. Cartoons, film, television, games, novels, he was enraptured by it all. As he grew older he had the opportunity to travel the world and learn new, exciting stories from other cultures that fueled his passion. He committed to his passions and graduated from the University of Arizona with a BFA in Acting. Now an actor and writer, he’s dedicated his life to storytelling in its many forms.”
The drama opens the 2021 season on June 17th and will run through September 5th.
