Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming September 24, 2010

It’s October, 1945 and the gospel-singing Sanders Family is back together again! The war is over and America’s years of prosperity are just beginning. But there’s another kind of rite of passage at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, where Reverend Mervin Oglethorpe is giving his last service. He’s been called to preach in Texas, and he’s already bought a ten-gallon hat and is preparing to ride into the sunset with his wife, June, who is eight months pregnant. Tomorrow morning, young Dennis Sanders takes over as Mount Pleasant’s pastor. Join the Sanders Family as they send Mervin and June off in style, with hilarious and touching stories and twenty-five toe-tapping Bluegrass Gospel favorites.
Production photos will be available 9/23/10. Much of the cast from Barksdale Theatre’s previous hit Smoke on the Mountain productions are back on stage for this new show!
