Array is a fast-paced variety show that runs the gamut of specialty acts ranging from comedy to juggling, acrobatics, high-wire, quick-change, ventriloquism, song and dance. The family-friendly show offers a high-energy spectacular with a Cirque de Soleil feel of extravaganza, and the talent is as good as anywhere in the country.

Top-rated local performers combine with guest troupes from around the world – at this writing a gaucho dance act from Argentina, for example – and intersperse with gospel performances that reflect the venue’s pronounced Christian sensibility.
The Array Variety Show is performed in the Mountain of Entertainment Theater in Pigeon Forge, and the energetic production is reminiscent of the much-loved Smoky Mountain Opry, which as of 2023 is now sadly closed, and handing a baton that Array aims to pick up.
Array is not a dinner show, although the theater offers light refreshments and snacks for those too caught up in the Array performances even to think about dinner! Located at the northern end of Pigeon Forge on Parkway, the theater is close to plenty of eateries.
Mountain of Entertainment Theatre also offers a separate show featuring the illusion and magic of Jason Hudy in the hard-to-pronounce but impossible-to-forget magic show ILLUSIONATION. Magic and mystery leaving you spellbound and stunned at the impossible feats of illusion, sleight of hand and what can only be pure magic are the hallmarks of this acclaimed show, suffused with plenty of comedy and laughter, and with a side of mind reading, teleportation and electrical storms.
Array presents an evening show Monday through Saturday, with an afternoon matinee show on Saturday. Combo tickets are also available to see both shows at the theater, back to back and with kids free for the second show..
