I lived in Maggie from 2009 until 2015. The play is on the Cherokee reservation. Maggie and Waynesville are 30 to 45 minutes from Cherokee depending on which way you go and how fast you drive. You're already familiar with Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge traffic never good. I don't want to be difficult but I am not a fan of Snappy's. It was always too dark and had several separate rooms that made it feel gloomy and the food while not totally terrible was nothing to write home about. in 2012 a really good italian restaraunt opened in Maggie, Frankies Trattoria much better. Waynesville is a nice little town with several nice restaraunts and quaint shops. And if you are going to Maggie any way its only a few minutes more to Waynesville.
