Buck Creek Players Seeks Help to Honor Jack Peek During Play-A-Part Fundraiser

Buck Creek Players, the award-winning all volunteer community theater on Indianapolis' southeast side, is seeking assistance to honor the memory of Jack Peek. As part of the third biannual Buck Creek Players Play-A-Part Fundraiser production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic Broadway musical, The Sound of Music, BCP is seeking financial assistance as part of a group sponsorship that will be billed as "The Friends of Jack Peek."

Jack, an active Buck Creek Players member, volunteered both at BCP and numerous other theaters throughout the state as Technical Director, Set Builder, President, and Head of Facilities. A major contributor for Buck Creek's transition from their previous home on Acton Road to their current location, Jack was also recognized for his lifetime achievements in community theater as a recipient of the Encore Association's E. Edward Green Award. Jack helped to shape the history of Buck Creek Players and his hard work and efforts are still recognized on a daily basis to both the volunteers and visitors to The Playhouse. To remember, recognize, and continue his work, Buck Creek Players is seeking help from donors to become a "Friend of Jack Peek" by donating any amount possible. The goal of the "Friends" is to raise half of the production's budget (or $2,000) to help defray costs of producing the musical.

The BCP Play-A-Part Fundraiser is designed to assist BCP in making large purchases that ensure the future of quality theater at our venue. The 2005 inaugural Play-A-Part Fundraiser of Grease raised sufficient funds to purchase new auditorium and lobby seating. Our 2007 production of West Side Story raised sufficient funds to expand our lighting system with additional capacity. Since Jack was instrumental in moving to our new home and facility management, the production staff, along with the Board of Directors, has determined that proceeds from The Sound of Music: The BCP Play-A-Part Fundraiser will be utilized to make exterior improvements to The Playhouse. These improvements may include new or repaired siding, painting, parking lot maintenance, and landscaping. Since moving into the new playhouse in 2001, multiple improvements to the exterior of the building have been made and proceeds from this fundraiser will allow continued improvements to the long term viability and appearance of the venue.
