Miracle on the Mountain, a play by Bill Wilson is based on
Crossnore School founder Mary Martin Sloop’s memoir, Miracle
in the Hills. This drama recounts how the Sloops sought to realize
their personal mission of bringing education, medical care and
other improvements to the western North Carolina mountains from
the early 1900s to the ’60s.
Play director Keith Smith and production coordinator Dana
Davis invite actors of all ages to attend this year’s auditions.
This year, the drama will be free of charge, held in the Sloop
Amphitheater on the Crossnore campus and presented July 30-31
and Aug. 1, 6 and 8, with shows beginning at 8 p.m. and one
matinee Aug. 8 at 10 a.m. Seats are reserved, and contributions
are encouraged.
The Crossnore School is a 97-year-old children’s home
and school serving children primarily from piedmont mountain
counties. Its mission is to provide hope and healing in a residential
homelike setting for children from families in crisis and its
vision is to break the cycle of abuse, abandonment and neglect
for children from families in crisis.
