(Branson, MO 02/09)  The Haygoods, known for their high-energy show, are focusing their energy towards a new project, the opening of the family’s very own theater, set for March 3^rd. The New Americana Theater, located in the middle of Branson’s famous 76 strip, will feature state-of-the-art sound and effects, a spacious lobby, and a gourmet deli for guests to enjoy. The New Americana Theatre will house four new shows for the 2009 season: The Haygoods, Tony Roi ~ The Elvis Experience, Red, Hot and Blue, and the brand new production Cassandre’ The Voice of an Angel.  

            The Americana Theatre was purchased by The Haygoods in May 2008. With that purchase they became the youngest family to own a theatre on the Branson strip. It has undergone half a million dollars in renovations and has an entirely new look for its opening on March 3^rd. An exciting addition to the theater is a gourmet deli shop for people to stop in and enjoy.

 “This project has been enormous endeavor for our family. We knew it would be a lot of work but it is something that we all wanted and we were willing to work hard for,” said Timothy Haygood. The Haygoods arrived in Branson, MO in 1993 with nothing but their instruments and started performing at Silver Dollar City. “Silver Dollar City was great for us, it helped us grow as musicians and gave us the courage to take our show out into Branson,” Tim Haygood stated.

The musical entertainment group, consisting of seven brothers and one sister, has performed over 10,000 shows for more than 4 million people during their Branson career.
