Smoke on the Mountain
Lamb’s Players Theatre next production at its downtown Horton Grand Theatre will be a restaging of one of the the- atre’s biggest past hits, Smoke on the Mountain by Connie Ray. Born off-Broadway, this musical comedy has become one of the most widely produced shows in theatrical his- tory. The setting is 1938 and a Saturday night revival at a Baptist Church in the North Carolina hills, where, it seems, the somewhat wacky Sanders family has been invited to entertain. Tickets available by calling the LPT Box Office at 619.437.6000.
