Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming

Written by Connie Ray
Conceived by Alan Bailey
Musical Arrangements by Mike Carver

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 Burl and Vera Sanders, along with Dennis’s twin Denise and Uncle Stanley as they send Mervin and June off in style, with hilarious and touching stories and twenty-five toe-tapping Bluegrass Gospel favorites.

As always, we thank you for your support of the Orange Community Players.
