Riders of the Flood, the outdoor drama, was written by Greenbrier County native and acclaimed artist, Robert Tuckwiller. It is based on the book of the same title by the late Warren Blackhurst, of Cass, West Virginia. Set during the bygone era when logging camps were plentiful, and loggers risked their lives to drive logs down the Greenbrier River, Riders of the Flood tells the tale of one young man who down on his luck, is forced to leave the big city and start a new life. He sets off to join a logging camp, not only to find work, but more importantly to find himself. His journey winds its way through the Greenbrier Valley, over Droop Mountain, in to Pocahontas County, and on to the high mountain country beyond. Along the way he finds adventure, romance, and success.
Big Dreams...Restless Spirit the newest production, written by Robert Tuckwiller, is a continuation of our story. Many changes came to the town of Ronceverte in the early 1900's. The expanded rail lines meant an end to the log drives on the Greenbrier River and new industry and technology brought about new opportunities. Our characters who have achieved success and prosperity at a fairly early age are uncertain about their futures. They seek the advice of their old friend Bill Brake who encourages them to use their "restless spirit" to pursue their "big dreams!"
