'Smoke on the Mountain: A Musical' at Dallas Theater

By attending this play, you will become a member of the 1938 congregation of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, where you will be attending their first-ever Saturday Night Sing. Pastor Oglethorpe is determined to move his flock into the "modern world" by inviting the Singing Sanders Family to join him. Suffice it to say, the evening turns out to be something rather different than what the pastor has in mind, getting a lot more than he anticipated with this family.

The seven-member ensemble cast is accompanied by three bluegrass virtuoso "cousins" on fiddle, bass, guitar and mandolin as they perform over 20 favorite gospel tunes such as "Church in the Wildwood," "Wonderful Time Up There," "No Tears in Heaven," "Jesus ls Mine," "There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood," "Bringing in the Sheaves," "Smoke on the Mountain" and many more.

"Smoke on the Mountain" has become one of the most widely produced shows in the country. This version is presented by PlayRight Productions.
