THE MUSICAL, SMOKE ON THE MOUNTAIN RETURNS TO THE STRAND

Sept 6-22 in Marietta

August 31, 2024

After a five-year hiatus, the Sanders Family returns to The Strand Theatre to perform the hilarious and heartwarming story, Smoke on the Mountain.  

Rollicking, exhilarating, and charmingly funny, Smoke on the Mountain features two dozen rousing bluegrass gospel songs played and sung by the Sanders family. Set in North Carolina in 1938, Smoke on the Mountain follows the Sanders Family Singers’ comedy of errors as they perform at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church's Saturday Night Gospel Sing and reveal their true – and hilariously imperfect – natures. Audiences will laugh, sing, and fall in love with the charming Sanders family in the show the New York Post called, "Totally beguiling... foot-stomping soul food."

“Totally beguiling... foot-stomping soul food.” – New York Post

“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

 PERFORMANCES:
