Brush Creek Players offer the comic mystery It Was a Dark and Stormy Night as the 2012 teen & young adult production

Brush Creek Players close their 2012 season with It Was a Dark and Stormy Night.  The show opens November 9 and runs two weekends to close November 18.  The play is directed by Michael Wood.

The show by Corvallis author and playwright Bob Greenwade offers a genuine mystery wrapped in a light-hearted send-up of the traditional parlor mystery.

“It Was a Dark and Stormy Night provides all the classic elements – strangers gathered in an isolated house, cut off from the world by a storm, working together to solve a mystery,” Wood said. “It even comes complete with a proper English butler.”

The production includes evening performances at 7 pm on Fridays and Saturdays, as well as 2 pm matinees on Saturdays and 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
208 E. Main Street, Silverton

Brush Creek Players will be having a work party this Sunday September 16, 2012 from 9 AM to 6 PM.  We will be doing some more clean up and painting on the interior of the building.  We are also hoping to finish up the siding on the storage shed.  If you have time come by and help us.  Your volunteer time will help us meet the matching grant for the historical restoration work to the outside of the building received from the Oregon Cultural Trust (http://www.culturaltrust.org/).

Come see the progress and enjoy the sunshine!

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
