The Brush Creek Players are excited to close their 2024 season with Ebenezer: A Ghost Story of Christmas, written by Michael Wood and directed by Norman Gouveia, Jr. The play opens Friday, December 1 and runs for three weekends, with performances at 7 pm on Fridays & Saturdays and matinees at 2 pm on Sundays. The play is being produced by arrangement with Evander Dramatic Press.

Brush Creek is very happy to be presenting this new, family-friendly adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. The production includes all the usual characters, as well as a group of carolers serenading the characters — and the audience — throughout the show. The cast of 16 (not including the carolers!) includes both newcomers to our stage and Brush Creek stalwarts from past shows.

Reserved seat tickets are available now for just $10 (discounted to $8 for children under 12, students with ID, and seniors 60 and over). You can buy them at either of our ticket-selling partners.

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–A Ghost Story of Christmas 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!
