Come join the cast of “Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol”

Posted on by

Brush Creek is holding open auditions for its next great show, a brand new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol. Brush Creek will perform Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, written by Michael Wood and performed by arrangement with Evander Dramatic Press, the first three weekends of December.

But FIRST, we need a cast!

The show includes roles for all ages and skill levels. We have parts of all sizes, and we can find a use for non-speaking characters as well (plus, if singing Christmas Carols is your thing, have we ever got a place for you!)

Open auditions will be held at 1 pm on Sunday, September 24 and at 6 pm on Monday, September 25. Can’t make those dates or have questions you’d like answered? Contact Director Norman Gouveia at (503)871-6788 (voice or text) or by e-mail at normanjr1@msn.com.

A word about the script from the author:

Christmas Carol is truly timeless, and the story has as much to offer a modern audience as it did to its readers when it was published 180 years ago. Although it includes a twist or two of its own (not the least of which is the liberal use of classic Christmas Carols throughout the tale), Ebenezer is a faithful retelling of the original story. Among many others in the cast, you will find Ebenezer Scrooge, his nephew Fred, his clerk Bob Cratchit, Bob’s wife Molly, and the Cratchit children — including the ailing but cheerful Tiny Tim! You will see his old boss Fezziwig and his deceased partner Marley, as well as his loving sister Fan and his childhood sweetheart Belle. And, of course, you will see the 3 Christmas spirits. But, most of all, you will experience the true spirit of Christmas, which infuses the entire tale!

Those crazy dwarfs are not done with their adventures! And you can be part of the fun!

Brush Creek will be holding auditions for The Further MISAdventures of the Seven Dwarfs. on 11 am on Saturday, December 3 and at 2 pm on Sunday, December 4.

This romp through the tales of the Brothers Grimm (written by Emily Wood and Michael Wood and performed by arrangement with Evander Dramatic Press) is great fun and has a wide variety of parts for young actors of all experience levels.

Did you know that a dwarf helped out Rapunzel and her prince? Or that two of them met Little Red Riding Hood in the woods? Or that another tried to make peace between the Three Little Pigs? No?

As always, Brush Creek’s 2023 Children & Youth Production will be directed by Linda Zellner and is open to young actors through the age of 18. Rehearsals will begin in early January and run until the play opens its three-weekend run in late February.

“Snow White” Auditions on April 4 and 5

Posted on by

Auditions for Children & Youth April 4 and 5!
The annual BCP Children & Youth production is back — with one of our biggest crowd-pleasers to celebrate our return to the stage!

Brush Creek will hold open auditions for The Brothers Grimm Tale of Snow White, directed by Linda Zellner, on Monday, April 4 and Tuesday, April 5, from 6 to 8 pm each day. These open auditions will be held at the playhouse, located at 11535 Silverton Road. The parking lot entrance is off of Brush Creek Road.

Attendance at both days of auditions can be useful, but it is not required. And if you are interested but simply unable to make either day, let Linda know at LJZEL@aol.com.

The production will run weekends beginning Friday, June 10 and closing Sunday, June 26.
The Brothers Grimm Tale of Snow White is Michael Wood’s adaptation of the classic tale, performed by arrangement with Evander Dramatic Press.

The beautiful and innocent princess, hated and pursued by the vain and evil queen, touches the heart of even the most suspicious of the dwarfs when she stumbles across them in the forest. But the queen is not done with her yet!

Brush Creek has performed this particular play twice before, and the productions were so well received by audience and cast alike that they even led to a sequel! Come be part of our 2022 production of this delightful tale!

The play includes a variety of roles suitable to children of all ages — and every character in the play has his or her moment to shine, from the most innocent of the dwarfs to the castle steward!
