Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud and Stunt Show Coming to Pigeon Forge
Original production to occupy Black Bear Jamboree building
PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (October 2010) - There's soon to be feudin' in the hills as the Fee/Hedrick Family Entertainment Group announces plans to open a brand new dinner feud and stunt show in the Smoky Mountains.
Based on one of America's most famous family feuds, the "Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud and Stunt Show" will open next spring in the Black Bear Jamboree Theater on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge. The completely original new show will be produced by veteran producers and business partners David Fee and Jim Hedrick who have a highly successful and long-running history of original productions in Pigeon Forge.
The new production is scheduled to open in early spring of next year and will be loosely based on the true story of the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud. The audience will be divided into the Hatfield and McCoy families by special seating areas. The show will extend throughout the theater as the audience participates in the good-natured rivalry. Daring and comical stunts will be performed throughout the show to add a special excitement. Singers, dancers, actors, musicians and specially trained stunt people will round out the cast. As with all Fee/Hedrick shows, this new show will have a family friendly atmosphere, with a focus on fun.
“Our area is rich with Appalachian heritage,” said theater co-owner David Fee. “Mountain clans were a way of life here, and this show will showcase all that's great about them!"
The building, which Fee and Hedrick purchased in 2002, will undergo a multi-million dollar renovation and transform in appearance into two neighboring hillbilly-style mountain homes, complete with a decorative moonshine still and barnyard animal areas.
"We wanted a fun and whimsical look for our new dinner feud," says Fee.
The theater lobby will also feature the largest moonshine still in the world – soon to be verified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
"The Moonshine Still will be an interactive learning center that highlights the history of the mountain people, but interjected with lots of humor,” says Hedrick. "Our customers will have a better understanding of everyday life back in the hills, while making them laugh at the same time!"
