Sit beneath the stars as sheer spectacle surrounds you with a herd of galloping horses, live military cannon in action, and the most dazzling battle sequences offered on the American stage.
TECUMSEH! has been labeled as one of the most mesmerizing dramas in the nation.
Often emulated within the outdoor drama industry, TECUMSEH! continues to set the standard for innovative production techniques. Over 100 people are involved each summer in bringing this exciting drama to life. The sights and sounds of natural elements serve to heighten this one-of-a-kind theatrical experience.
TECUMSEH!'s reputation for artistic excellence in performance, staging and design has garnered international acclaim. Quality production elements such as the play's hauntingly beautiful native American Music Score - (recorded exclusively by The London Symphony Orchestra) - and its narration sequences recorded by Oscar Nominated Native American Actor Graham Greene continue to thrill audience members of all ages.
This professionally produced outdoor drama was written by seven-time Pulitzer Prize nominee and Emmy recipient, Allan W. Eckert, nationally known for his buckskin bestsellers...The Winning of America Series. The script has been acclaimed as the best of its kind within the outdoor drama industry.
Since the premiere performance of TECUMSEH! in 1973, nearly 3 million visitors have witnessed this great outdoor play, making it the most popular of its kind in the State of Ohio and entire Mid-Western United States.

DOE Small Business of the Year
ATLANTA, Georgia - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) this month presented its FY 2015 Small Business of the Year Award to Wastren-EnergX Mission Support, LLC (WEMS) of Piketon, Ohio.
John Hale III, director of DOE's Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, presented the award May 24 during the DOE Small Business Forum and Expo in Atlanta. WEMS' Project Manager Damon Detillion and Steve Moore, President and CEO of Wastren Advantage Inc. (WAI) of Piketon, the managing partner of WEMS, accepted the award.
"It's a great honor to be recognized on a national level for what we've been doing in Pike County, Ohio, and across the DOE complex," Moore said.
According to Hale, small businesses like WEMS are essential in stimulating the economy, and the vitality of small businesses is critical to our nation's prosperity. "Small businesses (such as WEMS) generate innovation and technical solutions that contribute toward the fulfillment of our national security and energy missions," Hale said.
WEMS performed the Facility Support Services contract at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant from 2010 until April of this year. Services performed at the 3,777-acre PORTS site under the contract included: site and cyber security; training; IT; telecommunications; records management; fleet management; and facilities, roads and grounds maintenance.

SUMMER ARRIVES with
JIMMY BUFFETT PARTY
and PARROTS of the CARIBBEAN
Sugarloaf Mountain will get tropical as Southern Ohioans dig out their island-wear, dust off their leis and grab their shades to party with the number one Jimmy Buffett tribute act in the country, the Parrots of the Caribbean! Summer will officially arrive in Chillicothe with Parrots of the Caribbean on Saturday, June 4 for a 7:00 pm concert. The POTC band performs a high-energy, original stage show featuring a "Salute to Jimmy Buffett". These seasoned professionals perform Buffett's biggest songs, their own original Cajun country-rock hits, along with wild and crazy and sometimes outrageous stage show antics. The band has delighted audiences throughout the U.S. and Canada for over a decade. In 2012 they performed for our Troops in Okinawa Japan.
The five musicians who make up the Parrots of the Caribbean exemplify a wide variety of talent. Dave Albrecht, lead singer began his career impersonating "Elwood Blues," the Dan Akroyd character for a Blues Brothers Band. After traveling with it for five years he joined "Legends in Concert" a top-ranked show of impersonators in Las Vegas. He eventually transitioned to his Jimmy Buffett act gathering the finest seasoned musicians. Jeff "Hawaiian Hillbilly" Cline on lead and rhythm guitar and backup vocals is as diverse in his styles of music as his heritage. With his Polynesian mother and Air Force father he grew up in three states and German. On keyboard, Kenny "Tips" Rice, called "The Professor" brings more than 40 years of professional musical performance. A classically trained pianist, Rice has transitioned to all musical genres and an assortment of groups. He has opened for such artists as Edgar Winter, Cheap Trick, Eddie Money, George Carlin, Michael Bolton and Willie Nelson. Greg Martin on percussion and vocals has been performing for nearly 40 years across the country and abroad. Gary "Riptide" Rigmaiden on bass and back-up vocals hails from the Golf Coast of Louisiana and spent part of his youth in Spain and Brazil. For him the island music, songs of the sea, bayou themes and beachcomber blues of Jimmy Buffet's music are right at home.
"A Parrots of the Caribbean concert is one of the most fun nights you can have anywhere doing anything. We'll have margaritas, cheeseburgers, beach balls and expect everyone to dress appropriately with tasteless Hawaiian shirts and flip flops. Let's celebrate the arrival of summer together!" Said Scioto Society CEO, Brandon Smith.
Tickets are $20 for reserved seating in advance and $25 day of show. Concerts are rain or shine events and all sales are final. There will be no opening act.
