A Broadway-style musical theater work of 16 scenes and 14 songs... 12 original plus a 19th Century mountain death song and FASOLA sacred harp music.
Chosen by American College Theatre Festival Region IV as one of three New Musical Theatre Works to be critiqued by leading Broadway professionals at the ATCF IV 2003 conference.
"I have had the joy of seeing 'The Cotton Patch Gospels' off Broadway in New York as well as 'Smoke On the Mountain' by the Cumberland Playhouse, both wonderful productions. I would rate 'The Circuit Rider's Wife' as an even more enjoyable and inspiring play. The original score by Jim Burn's is brilliant. I give 'Circuit Rider's Wife' two thumbs up, don't miss it."
