The
play, conceived by Alan Bailey, is about the Singing Sanders Family who

Baptist
Church in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, as their son is headed off to
war in WW2. The play takes place eighteen days after Pearl Harbor
and FDR’s declaration of war.

Denise,
and June, and Uncle Stanley. The Pastor, Mervin Oglethorpe, still
presides at Mount Pleasant as its minister.
"The
Crucible"
February
28, March 1, & 2
March
7, 8, & 9
This
exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is
both
a gripping historical play and a parable of our contemporary society.
The
story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant-girl
who
maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer
brings
the girl to court to admit the lie - and it is here that the monstrous
course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The
farmer,
instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft
and
ultimately condemned with a host of others.
