Auditions for Smoke on the Mountain to be held at the Chief Theater in Chiefland,  25 East Park Ave. on July 23 from 9 am – 12:00 pm and July 26 at 6 pm.

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 five-year hiatus.  Pastor Oglethorpe, the young and 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" -- tells a story about an important event in his/her 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.

SVP are looking for four males and three females who can sing. If you also play an instrument, it's a bonus, but not required for the roles.  The play will be on stage weekends from September 30–October 16th.
