Smoke on the Mountain tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of a Saturday Night Gospel Sing at a country church in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains in 1938. The show features two dozen rousing bluegrass songs played and sung by the Sanders Family, a traveling group making its return to performing after a five-year hiatus. “Totally beguiling... foot-stomping soul food.” – New York Post “Wildly funny... So well written that I found myself laughing, rooting for the family, and singing along and clapping with the rest of the audience.” – The Trentonian “Exhilarating!... A rollicking... cornpone Chorus Line.” – Variety “A sophisticated audience went simply wild.” – Philadelphia Daily News “A charming and funny celebration of Americana.” – The New York Times Smoke on the Mountain live performance is approximately 2 hours long including an intermission.
