Lexington Stage Company and Studio Players present Smoke on the Mountain, a Bluegrass gospel musical by Alan Bailey and Connie Ray. The audience serves as the congregation for 1930s Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, a rural North Carolina house of worship where Rev. Mervin Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders Family Singers for a Saturday night sing along. A few conflicts arise as Rev. Oglethorpe tries to introduce his traditional congregation to modern worship styles, but the overall point is to hear classic hymns like I’ll Fly Away and Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. The show plays July 10-27 at the Carriage House Theatre on Bell Court. Photos, audio and productions by Rich Copley | Staff
What is your best guess as to how part of the $42 million in the fen-phen case got placed in such a way to influence the jury? Did one of jurors use his or her cell phone to call home from the bathroom to check and find out whether a Lexus, Infiniti or BMW had been delivered to the home of the spouse? It was something similar to that you can bet. People can’t steal $42 million and get away with it unless there is some real good scheme that works. Maybe you have a better answer.
