Act I: Sand Mountain Matchmaking
In the first of the pair of one-act plays, Sand Mountain Matchmaking,
a young, recently widowed preacher’s daughter must repel a trio of
unsuitable suitors and find true love with the help of a wise old
medicine woman’s colorful suggestion.
Act II: Why the Lord Come to Sand Mountain
In the second of the two one-act plays, Why the Lord Come to Sand Mountain,
the Lord and St. Peter visit a dirt-poor family on Christmas Eve to
swig corn whiskey and swap progressively absurd folk tales. However,
the evening takes a thoughtful turn when the Lord requests one story in
particular.
Sand Mountain runs Friday, December 13 through Saturday, December 21, 2013 at the First Church In Boston, located at 66 Marlborough Street, Boston MA 02116.
