The 1940′s Radio Hour
A live broadcast of the Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade on December 21, 1942 captures the spirit of a bygone era when the world was at war and pop music meant “Chattanooga Choo-Choo” and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Join us when the harassed producer tries to control the leading “lush” singer, the delivery boy who wants a chance to entertain, the second-banana who dreams of stardom and a host of other zanies. Great music and a laugh a minute!
The Curious Savage
Mix together an extremely wealthy woman, a greedy family, a sanatorium filled with social misfits who cannot cope with the outside world and you have a venue that only the Georgia Mountain Players can fulfill. The theme is high comedy wrapped in warmth and hope. In the final scene, the audience is left with a feeling that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems motivated only by greed and dishonesty.
Smoke on the Mountain
Set in a small Baptist Church in Mt. Pleasant, N.C., where the Sanders family come back to the Gospel circuit after a five-year absence. Confronted by church matriarchs with only Rev. Oglethorpe as a buffer, the family brings musical and emotional harmony to everyone through their foot-stompin’ songs, outrageous witnessin’, and down home fun. This is the Georgia Mountain Players 11th year of presenting this wonderful, funny and heart-warming production.
Play On!
This is a hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty authoress who keeps revising the script. Follow us through the dreadful rehearsal, the near-disastrous dress rehearsal and the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does. When the authoress decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax, even the sound effects reap their share of laughter.
