Medora is a quaint little town in North Dakota just south of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Only about 100 people live in the town but there is a lot to see. Beautiful flowers are everywhere and seven museums and a golf course provide entertainment. President Theodore Roosevelt had a ranch here and his presence is everywhere. We thoroughly enjoyed an actor and Teddy Roosevelt scholar present a one man show.
One evening we went to the most famous local attraction - the Medora Musical.
It is held outdoors in a natural amphitheater. Parking is on a bluff and the audience travels down two excelators to seating built into the side of the hill.
Only 100 people live in the town, but the amphitheater has over 2,000 seats.
Two elk were hanging around on the hill behind the stage before the show started.
A cowboy rode up to shoo them away before the show started.
The male performers all wore holsters, but without guns. I thought
that was strange until I realized that was for their microphones when
they were dancing.
The buildings in the back of the stage were built on a railroad track and slid back and forth as needed.
