Richard Daniel (Uncle Stanley) has lived in Tennessee for as long as he can remember, but he was born in Troy, North Carolina. That's just about 30 miles from Mt. Pleasant. Perhaps it's no surprise then that he has performed as Stanley or Burl Sanders in the Smoke on the Mountain trilogy some 300 times at the Cumberland County Playhouse, Chaffin's Barn, Allenberry Playhouse, and the Ryman Auditorium. At Cumberland County last fall he was a member of the first and only cast anywhere ever to perform all three shows in one very long day. Earlier this year he was seen in productions of The Foreigner and Molly Sweeney. Some of his other favorites include The Hasty Heart, The Boys Next Door, The Tempest and Dark of the Moon. |

Paul Kerr (Burl Sanders) Musical fathers seem to be a theme for Paul here at the Dutch Apple. First, as the head of the singing Von Trapp Family, Captain Von Trapp in The Sound of Music, and now, Burl Sanders, leading the tuneful Sanders family in Smoke on the Mountain. This production marks Paul's seventh turn as Burl in a show he truly cherishes. In a 30 year career he has appeared in many National Tours, Regional Theatres, and has been a guest artist at several universities. Thanks Kiersten, for singing the the way. |
