So, in the fall, my school is doing a production of Smoke in the Mountains. It isn't very well-known, so I haven't had much luck looking up information about it. I know the brief outline of it, but that's about it.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a script? Preferably free, but I know that's a long shot, so if not, if it's cheap, that's also good. I've got the salary of a non-working fifteen year old.

But the reason I want a script is so that I can look at the characters thoroughly, get a good idea of who is who, what they do, how they act-- so that when we have cold readings, I'll actually know how to act, instead of looking at a series of words and taking a random guess based off of that.

Oh, and if a finding a script is like making an alcoholic drink V8 juice instead of vodka, then could someone who's seen it give me a description of the characters? Perhaps I'm asking too much.

But anything anyone has would be much appreciated!!

Here's a review I came across, says a little bit.


Smoke on the Mountain

Written by Connie Ray and conceived by Alan Bailey, Smoke on the Mountain is a musical comedy set in 1938 about a Blue Ridge Mountain family of Southern Gospel musicians and singers, the Sanders Family of Siler City, North Carolina, that gives a spirit-filled concert at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church.

Rev. Oglethorpe invites the Sanders family: Ma, Pa, daughter June, twins Denise, Dennis, and brother Stanley who run a gas station-general store in the next town, to entertain at the first ever Saturday night sing. They are joined by cousins Rufus , Rueben, Raef, Raebella, and Ruebella.
The family has a great time playing guitar, bass, piano, banjo, dulcimer and other instruments, singing and inspiring the congregation by “witnessing” with parables and stories of their own human frailties.

Other members of the cast include singing deacons, church members, and Members of the Ladies Aid Society.The New York Times calls “Smoke on the Mountain” “witty and refreshing.” It’s the musical comedy that has “22 foot-stompin’ songs, 1 set of twins, a murderous vat of pickles, the devil on highway 11, 17 blue-grass instruments, 1 pious dog, 2 headstrong Junebugs and a surprise a minute.”
