ABOUT THE SHOW 

Picture
Buck Creek Players and Director Nickie Cornett are excited to announce their upcoming production of OVER MY DEAD BODY, by Jean Blasiar. 

A ghost and her husband are prepared to haunt the house below before they’ll let their family sell the house that has been theirs for three generations. Miranda and Ben have been quite happy living in their haunted family home their entire lives. And now that they have passed on and joined the realm of family ghosts as well, they are looking forward to an afterlife spent with their children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, their children (more specifically their daughter in law) have other plans. Plans that involve selling the more than slightly haunted house and moving to Florida. Plans that Miranda simply won’t have ...

Buck Creek Players is pleased to continue our 49th season with this live event on our mainstage.  Join us for the six live in-person performances at the playhouse starting Friday, September 30th and running through Sunday, October 9th. 
Presented by special arrangement with Off The Wall Play Publishers.  (www.offthewallplays.com)
