While enrolled, three of Hunter's plays were produced by the Carolina Playmakers, a dramatic group at the University. When the Cherokee Historical Association began looking for a playwright to write an outdoor drama to be performed in Cherokee, North Carolina, Hunter won the commission and wrote his most famous play Unto These Hills. The play opened July 1, 1950 and still plays on at the Mountainside Theatre. He also wrote the play for the Cherokee Nation based in Tahlequah, OK, The Trail of Tears. This play was performed each summer at the Cherokee Heritage Center located south of Tahlequah until the mid-90's.After receiving his masters, Hunter remained in Chapel Hill to pursue his Ph.D.. After receiving his Ph.D in 1955, he accepted the position of professor of drama at Hollins College (now Hollins University) in Roanoke, Virginia.

After stepping down as dean in 1976, he remained at Southern Methodist as a writer in residence until 1978. After leaving Southern Methodist he was named as a senior lecturer at the University of Texas at Arlington. He retired in 1993 and died in Dallas on April 11, 2001.During his extraordinary career, Hunter wrote over 40 historical dramas that were performed all over the United States.
