ABOUT THE SHOW
Our 50th Season and Our Two Hundred and Thirty-Sixth Production!
|
Buck Creek Players and Director Ben Jones are excited to announce their upcoming production of SORDID LIVES by Del Shores. Chaos erupts in Winters, Texas when good Christian woman Peggy trips over her lover's wooden legs, hits her head and bleeds to death in a motel room. In this ‘coming out’ story, the hilarious, sad, trashy truth about their lives runs amuck as three generations of her family prepare for Peggy's funeral! Buck Creek Players is pleased to kick off our 50th season with this live event on our mainstage. Join us for the six live in-person performances at the playhouse starting Friday, August 4th and running through Sunday, August 13th. |
