The year is 1938. It's Saturday night in Mount Pleasant, NC, and the Reverend Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders Family Singers to provide an upliftin' evening of singin' and witnessin'. The audience is invited to pull up a pew and join in the rollicking good time. More than two dozen songs, many of them vintage pop hymns, and hilarious stories from the more or less devout Sanders provide a richly entertaining evening that has audiences clapping, singing, laughing and cheering. You'll be treated to gospel songs, such as "I'll Fly Away" and "Church in the Wildwood" along with the comedic antics of the actors who portray the black sheep in each of our families. If you want something out of the ordinary, this show is exactly what you've been looking for.
