The Colonnade Players, directed by Jan Daigle, will present Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming, opening June 16.
Review for Smoke on the Mountain:
It’s October, 1945 and the gospel-singing Sanders Family is back together again! The war is over and the 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 tengallon 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 Mont Pleasant’s pastor. Join the Sanders Family as they send Mervin and June off in style with hilarious and touching stories and some toe-tapping Gospel favorites.
Show dates are June 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 7:30 p.m. Matinees are on June 17 at 1 p.m. and June 25 at 2:30 p.m.
