Hayswood Theatre will wrap up its production of "Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming" this weekend. It's October 1945 and the gospel-singing Sanders family is back together again. The war is over and America's years of prosperity are just beginning. But there's another kind of rite of passage at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, where Reverend Mervin Oglethorpe is giving his last service. Join the Sanders family as they send Mervin and his wife June off in style with hilarious and touching stories and twenty-five toe-tapping Bluegrass Gospel favorites. Hayswood Theatre will raise its curtain to the production of “Smoke on the Mountain: Homecoming” from July 16 through August 1. Show times are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors (65+) and children (17 and under) and can be purchased at the Blaine H.
