‘Tecumseh!’ Returns for Its 53rd Season

There’s something truly special about a summer evening in Ohio, including warm breezes, starry skies and, for over five decades, the heart-pounding spectacle of “Tecumseh!” taking the stage at Sugarloaf Mountain Amphitheatre. Now entering its 53rd season, this epic outdoor drama returns June 12 through Aug. 31, offering families and adventure-seekers an unforgettable experience packed with history, action and awe-inspiring storytelling.

Written by Pulitzer Prize-nominee Allan W. Eckert, “Tecumseh!” tells the powerful true story of the legendary Shawnee leader who fought to defend his homelands during the late 1700s. The drama unfolds on one of the most impressive outdoor stages in the country, nestled in the rolling hills of Chillicothe. It’s not just a play, it’s a full-on theatrical adventure.

Picture this: live horses galloping across the stage, roaring cannons echoing through the hills and dazzling battle sequences that will leave your whole family on the edge of their seats. Combined with a stirring narrative and breathtaking staging, “Tecumseh!” is a show you won’t forget. But the fun doesn’t stop at the amphitheater gates.

Turn Your Visit Into a Family Adventure
Before the show even begins, families can enjoy a variety of hands-on activities. Try your hand at tomahawk throwing, search for treasures while gem mining or go behind the scenes for a tour that gives you a closer look at how this production comes to life. You can even enjoy dinner on-site, the perfect way to make it a full evening outing.

Looking for more than one day of adventure? The Wilderness Adventure Pass is your all-access ticket to two days of family fun, history and local charm. This exclusive package includes not only admission to Tecumseh! but also entry to several of Ross County’s top historic attractions.
