A Doll House, the classic play by Henrik Ibsen, comes to Brush Creek Playhouse

Brush Creek Players are very excited to bring to life one of the classics of the theater — A Doll House, by Henrik Ibsen, a groundbreaking tale of marriage, of relationships, of growth and of redemption.

“Ibsen’s characters bring depth and reality to his plays – he wrote about people, not caricatures, making his plays both delightful and challenging for the cast,” said Michael Wood, who is directing the show with Ryan Laack. “Ryan and I have been lucky enough to work with a cast with the ability to bring those characters to life, with all the complexities of real people.”

The show will open September 28 and run three weekends to close on October 14, with evening performances at 7 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as 2 pm matinees on Sundays.

Tickets are $10 general admission, with discounted tickets available for students ($8) and children under 12 ($7) and seniors 60 and older ($7).  They can be purchased in advance at the following locations:

Item 9 Opportunity Shoppe (formerly the Clothes Garden), 208 E. Main Street, Silverton (503) 873-7362

Stampin’Cat Studio – An Artist’s Rubber Stamp Store, 2677 Commercial Street SE, Salem (503) 390-2553

August 3 – 19, 2012
7 PM evening shows on Fridays and Saturdays

At long last, after many trials and tribulations, the wedding of the lovely Critter Gulch Schoolmarm, Molly Dewdrop, to her handsome fiancé, Biff Baxter, is about to take place. In order to make things run smoothly, they have hired world-famous wedding planner Calliope Hitchum. But their arch-enemy, Blacky LaRoach, will stop at nothing to stop the wedding and ruin their plans.

Sheriff Wilbur Hewitt has plans of his own to stop Blacky in his tracks, and Biff’s sister Badlands Brenda Baxter is on the scene to provide her own unique brand of help. Then there’s Savannah Dixie, who has designs of her own.

Will Blacky and Savannah succeed in their evil schemes?

Can Molly and Biff get hitched without a hitch?

And just who is Tilla De Hon?
