What do you do when you have a whole lot of talented female actors show up for auditions when the script calls for 3 women and 11 men? Change the play, of course — Brush Creek has changed its plans, and instead of producing “Arsenic and Old Lace” we will be doing “The Odd Couple (Female Version)” as our April production. All the other details (performance dates, etc.) remain unchanged.

We look forward to seeing this cast take the stage — they provide a mix of Brush Creek veterans and newcomers to our stage, and they promise to provide a memorable and entertaining comedy production!

Brush Creek Players are pleased to introduce our 2014 season, a variety of productions including classics of the theater, plays that proved themselves on Broadway and original works

Open Auditions for “Arsenic and Old Lace,” directed by Norman Gouveia

Time and Date:
1 pm, Sunday, February 2
6:30 pm, Monday, February 3

Show Dates: April 11 thru 27th (Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays)

In the classic comedy, “Arsenic & Old Lace,” we meet the charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously “acceptable” roomers; the antics of their nephew who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; the activities of another nephew, who may look like a famous actor, AND the romantic hopes of yet another nephew, a reluctant drama critic.

Elderberry wine comes into play – be careful NOT to drink it………  Lots of fun at Brush Creek, with the show running weekends April 11th thru the  27th.  We need lots of men AND lots of women.

Brush Creek Players announce “Poetry in the Playhouse” for April 2013

Brush Creek Players are pleased to add a new experience to the 2013 schedule – in celebration of National Poetry Month, Brush Creek is devoting a weekend to poetry, both original and classic works.

“Poetry at the Playhouse” will take place on April 19 thru 21, with performances at 7 pm on Friday and Saturday and at 2 pm on Sunday. This mic event will be hosted by local NW poet, Ariel. Admission will be $5.

“It’s something new for the Playhouse,” Ariel, a familiar face at the Playhouse, said. “But many of us here love poetry, and we welcome the chance to share that love with the community. And the Playhouse is a great venue to showcase the talented poets in our communities.”

Those interested in reading a poem or three (either original work or a classic in the public domain) at one or more of the performances should send a copy of the poem(s) with the subject line “Poetry” to BCPTheater@aol.com by Saturday, April 5. The host will review the piece to determine whether it is suitable for a family audience.  If one or more pieces are accepted, the participant will be asked to pay a $5 participation fee (but only once, even if reading more than one piece in all three performances).

The playhouse is located at 11535 Silverton Road NE (the intersection of Silverton and Brush Creek Roads) near Silverton, Oregon.
