"...a fine balance between authenticity and theatricality -- rousing, infectious, and fun. " Best of New Orleans

It's a hot, rainy, July night in 1938 at the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in the mountains of North Carolina and it's time to sing, laugh, and testify with Rev. Oglethorpe and the Sanders' Family...if they all manage to show up...

"Not far into "Smoke on the Mountain" the audience begins tapping feet, clapping rhythmically and even singing along. This musical, consisting largely of old hymns, is wildly infectious." The New York Times

"...this folksy musical treats the Depression-era travails of these not-so-simple folk with gentle humor and genuine affection." The Seattle Times
