SummerTide Brings Bluegrass to the Beach
Kids Gulf Discovery Day at Bellingrath
The University of Alabama’s professional summer theatre, SummerTide, will bust out the banjos this summer during its 14th season. The cast of SummerTide will present “Smoke on the Mountain”, a 1930’s musical comedy set in North Carolina’s Smoky Mountains. Join the Sanders family as they return to performing after a five year break. When Pastor Oglethorpe hires them to revive his congregation at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, the Sanders’ inspire everyone through song and reveal a few family imperfections along the way. The show’s infectious combination of gospel and bluegrass music will launch the audience into a harmonious sing-along spirit. “Smoke on the Mountain” will run June 2 to June 30, at the George C. Meyer Performing Arts Center. Tickets are available for purchase at SummerTide.org or by calling the George C. Meyer Performing Arts Center box office after May 29 at 251.968.6721.
