Children and Youth Play A Success

Posted on by

Thanks to Linda Zellner and the many other people, this year’s children and youth play was a success! Michael Wood wrote a fun play called “Jack and the Beanstalk.” One of the best benefits was making new friends and getting more young people excited about acting and the theater.

Please watch for an announcement for auditions for Norman’s play “My Three Angels.” It too looks to be another great production!

Thank you Linda for 18 years! or is it more? of inspiration, patience and sharing your passion for drama to all those impressionable small folks.

And a huge thank you to all the children and youth and their families. We have new outside lights. We heard lots of laughter and fabulous costumes and props and just one set. Wow that is a first for Michael. The time families make to help with these productions is what makes them possible! Yahoo to such great team work.

 

Jack & the Beanstalk opens at Brush Creek Playhouse on February 15

Posted on by

Brush Creek Players are opening their annual children and youth show, Jack & the Beanstalk, on Friday, February 15. The play will run four performances for three weekends through March 3, 2013.

“The story of Jack, a somewhat naïve young man who does great things, is a wonderful story,” said Michael Wood, the play’s author.  “And Brush Creek’s offering is a good-natured adaptation of the classic tale.  It has all the standard elements, as well as some of the good-humored twists that Brush Creek’s original children’s shows have become known for.”

“Linda Zellner is a wonderful director for young actors, and we have a great mix of new and experienced cast this year,” Wood said.  “She helps them realize what they can do to bring characters to life – even characters that are very different from the actors themselves.”

The play, which rotates between two almost completely different casts to give as many actors as possible an opportunity to perform, will include 7 p.m. performances on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. matinees on Saturdays and Sundays.

Tickets are $10 for general admission, with discounted tickets for students with a valid ID ($8), for those over 60 ($7) and for those under 12 ($7).

Tickets can be purchased in advance at Stampin’Cat Studio on S.E. Commercial in Salem and at Books-N-Time on N. Water in downtown Silverton.  Tickets also will be available at the door 30 minutes before each performance.
