The 2026 Season is under way!

Situated in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, the Trail of the Lonesome Pine Outdoor Drama is based on the best-selling novel of the same name, written by local author John Fox, Jr. It tells the story of how coal brought new life to the Appalachian region over a century ago. At the heart of the story, burns the feud between the Tollivers and the Falins, two rival factions who are sworn enemies from decades past. With music, dance, and passionate performances, “The Trail” is known far and wide for its heart-felt romance between a young mountain girl and an engineer who comes to the region in search of coal. The Drama will return in 2026 for its 63rd Annual Season.
