Cast Announcement

Buck Creek Players and Director Melissa Devito are excited to announce full casting for their upcoming holiday production, THE UNEXPECTED GIFT by Mike Willis. Jack, a sixty-eight year old writer who lost his wife to cancer, is devastated and bitter. He seeks refuge from the rest of the world by retreating to the old family cabin. His only surviving family members are his daughter Kate and her two children, thirteen-year-old Johnathon and nine-year- old Sarah. When Kate arrives at her father's cabin on the afternoon of Christmas Eve and asks him if Johnathon and Sarah can stay with him for a few days, Jack is reluctant but finally agrees. Through Christmas Eve and into Christmas Day, Jack and the children struggle to discover each other and to everyone's surprise, realize that they have received an unexpected Christmas gift - the gift of family...the most precious gift of all.
​
THE UNEXPECTED GIFT​ is scheduled for nine performances over three weekends, November 30-December 16, 2018.
