Smoke on the Mountain

Smoke on the Mountain is an Off-Broadway musical with a book by Connie Ray and conceived of and directed by Alan Bailey.

[citation needed] The original production's sets were by Peter Harrison, lighting by Mary Jo Dondlinger, costumes by Pamela Scofield, musical direction by John Foley, musical arrangements by Mike Craver and Mark Hardwick, production stage manager was Erika Feldman, and technical supervision by Joseph L. Robinson.

It is believed that the longest continuous run of "Smoke On the Mountain" is at the Cumberland County Playhouse in Crossville, Tennessee, first directed by Terry Sneed.

The setting is in a Mount Pleasant, North Carolina Baptist church in 1938 and it revolves around the Sanders family.

The first act ends as June and Denise begin to "dance" (a simple foot kick and hip slap of a tambourine).

The family ends the night by quoting the titular bible verse/song, Psalm 104:32: "He who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke."

The story continues with the sequel, Sanders Family Christmas, released in 1999 (with musical arrangements by John Foley and Gary Fagin).

A third production was released in 2006, entitled Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming (with musical arrangements by Mike Craver).
