INDIANAPOLIS — The Buck Creek Players will continue their 36th season “On the Home Front” with “Home for Christmas,” a holiday inspiration for the entire family, adapted by Anne Coulter Martens from the 1937 novel by Indiana’s own Lloyd C. Douglas.
Opening Dec. 4 and running for three weekends through Dec. 20, curtain times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, with 2:30 p.m. matinees on Sundays.

The Clayton family has scattered to every part of the country. Some of them have been successful and some have difficult problems. One of the daughters, determined that the family recapture something they seem to have lost, forces them all to come home for Christmas. In the midst of the laughter, they discover something that audiences will want to discover with them. Performing the roles in this heartfelt story are Valerie Ward Ludwig (Mother Clayton), Dalinda K. Shelton Stowe (Nan Clayton), Lee McCarty (Jim Clayton), Denise Rush (Gertrude Clayton Eldridge), Brittany DuPriest (Miriam Eldridge), Jake Meyer (Jack), Debbie Jones (Jean), Judith Duncan (Packy), Pam Turner (Ellen), Tom Meador (Timmie), Randy L.

Ball, Marah Manners, Nicholas Rush, Kaydence Noelle Stowe, and Noah C. Stowe as Mrs. Apple’s children.
Melissa DeVito makes her directing debut with this production, but is no stranger to the playhouse. She was assistant director for BCP’s 2008 production of “Honk!,” has produced, managed properties for many productions, and also appeared on stage in BCP productions of “The Christmas Express,” “Parade,” “West Side Story: The BCP Play-A-Part Fundraiser,” and “Dancing at Lughnasa.” Assisting DeVito on the production team are Cheryl Kern (producer), Lea Viney (set designer and technical director), Linda Rowand (costumer), Jeff Rowand (lighting designer), D.
