Tickets are available at SummerTide.org or at the ticket office beginning May 25 by calling 251-968-6721.
SummerTide Theatre will be returning to the stage with its production of Smoke On the Mountain Homecoming, directed by Stacy Alley. Join the Sanders Family as they send Mervin and June off in style, with hilarious and touching stories and twenty-five toe-tapping Bluegrass Gospel favorites.
“Smoke on the Mountain is one of the most popular shows we’ve ever produced at SummerTide Theatre and, since 2017, audience members continue to comment on how much they enjoyed it. This heart-warming story, suitable for all ages, can be enjoyed regardless of whether or not one experienced the original and will feature a talented cast, as well as an abundance of laughter, joy and faith,’’ said Alley.
In past years, SummerTide has brought Forever Plaid, Ring of Fire, The Marvelous Wonderettes, and Pump Boys and Dinettes to the beach.
At Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, Reverend Mervin Oglethorpe is giving his last service. He’s been called to preach in Texas, and he’s already bought a tengallon hat and is preparing to ride into the sunset with his wife, June, who is eight months pregnant. Join the Sanders Family as they send Mervin and June off in style, with hilarious and touching stories and bluegrass gospel favorites.
