The wacky Sanders Family is back in "Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming" opening Friday at 7:30 p.m. on the indoor stage. "Homecoming," directed by Ann Galland, is Part III of the popular Sanders Family Trilogy. The musical comedy will be performed Friday-Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. through Dec. 12.
Opening night guests are invited to attend a pre-show reception in the gallery at 6 p.m. in honor of the new exhibit "Destinations." The works of Texas college students will be on display.
Galland directed the first two plays in the series, "Smoke on the Mountain" in 2007 and "Sanders Family Christmas" in 2007 and 2008. The first play introduces the singing Sanders family as they visit Rev. Oglethorpe's small Baptist church. "Sanders Family Christmas" takes place during World War II as the family again travels to the church before young Dennis is shipped overseas.
"Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming" is set after World War II. The family is reunited briefly, but Rev. Oglethorpe and his wife June are moving to Texas, and Dennis is preparing to take over as pastor of Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. "Homecoming" features bluegrass and gospel tunes mixed with the humorous "testimonies" of the Sanders family.
Guests are asked to bring non-perishable foods and toiletries to be donated to the Christian Assistance Ministry to help those in need. Collection bins will be located in the theatre lobby.
