Buck Creek Players bring together motley holiday crew

INDIANAPOLIS — After a blizzard shuts down the roads on Christmas Eve eve, a motley crew of travelers find themselves stranded at the local community center. From the lovelorn drama teacher with a bus full of students, to the quarrelsome couple on the way to their wedding, to the overeager sheriff ready for some real criminal action, everyone has their own troubles to untangle. But to have a happy holiday, they’re going to need a miracle–or seven, to be exact. See “Closed for the Holidays” Dec. 6 through 22 at the Buck Creek Playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Ave. For more information and show times, visit buckcreeplayers.com or call 317-862-2270.
