A revival of a popular show from SCT’s past,
“Smoke on the Mountain” tells the 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 5-year hiatus. Pastor Oglethorpe, the
enthusiastic minister of Mount Pleasant Baptist
Church, has enlisted the Sanders Family in his
efforts to bring his tiny congregation into “the
modern world.” Between songs, each family
member “witnesses” – telling a story about an
important event in their life. Though they try to
appear perfect in the eyes of a congregation who
wants to be inspired by their songs, one thing
after another goes awry and they reveal their true – and hilariously imperfect – natures. By the evening’s end, the Sanders Family have endeared themselves to us by revealing their weaknesses and allowing us to share in their triumphs.

Audition Dates - TBA
The creative team responsible for a recent
Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were
murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door
Slasher") assemble for a backer’s audition of their
new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy
“angel.” The house is replete with sliding panels,
secret passageways, and a German maid who is
apparently four different people—all of which
figure diabolically in the comic mayhem which
follows when the infamous “Slasher” makes his
reappearance and strikes again—and again. As
the composer, lyricist, actors, and director prepare
their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any
possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight,
knives spring out of nowhere, masked figures
drag their victims behind swiveling bookcases,
and accusing fingers point in all directions.
