Smoke on the Mountain Reviews
Chicago Reader- Highly Recommended
"... Director Tim Gregory keeps things precise but light, and all the performers are chock-full of the musical and comic spirit."
Time Out Chicago- Recommended
"...Gregory and his remarkable company mine the material for all it’s worth. His skilled actors craft nuanced, sympathetic characters while accompanying themselves on a dizzying array of instruments (check out the multitalented Amber Burgess on guitar, piano, violin and mandolin). From Susan Moniz’s smug matriarch to Alex Goodrich’s beaming, eager preacher to Jeff Harms’s haunted ex-con, each character is engaging and rich."
ChicagoCritic- Recommended
"...This fun show contains a tad too much preaching for my heathen mentality but the terrific old-time bluegrass music carried the show for me. Modern audiences see how the strong religious influence ruled these folk’s lives."
