INDIANAPOLIS – The unforgettable Singing Sanders Family is back this summer to let their fans know what happened next in their sequel, Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming. Featuring more bluegrass gospel singing and heartwarming stories and hilarious antics in a way only the Sanders Family can present them, Homecoming is now on stage at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre through Aug. 16.
The story continues in 1945 – seven years after the Sanders Family first came to Mount Pleasant Baptist Church for a Saturday Night Sing. Times have changed and so have the circumstances for the Sanders Family, but some things — like the great Gospel music and touching tales — are back, and better than ever.
Beef & Boards’ production welcomes the return of original cast members John Vessels as the Rev. Mervin Oglethorpe, Sarah Hund as June Sanders, Bob Payne as Burl Sanders and Pam Pendleton as Vera Sanders. Brian Gunter returns as Stanley Sanders, while newcomers Christina Rahn and Will Boyajian play the twins, Denise and Dennis Sanders, respectively.
The audience plays the role of the congregation, so come join the fold and the fun!
