About the Show:
If the Good Lord’s Willing and the Creek Don’t Rise is a zany comedy full of eccentric characters and laugh-out-loud moments. The story revolves around “Doc,” a retired judge who spends his days in odd pursuits, from flying his hot air balloon to writing nonsense books. His daughter, Charlotte, thinks he’s lost his marbles and conspires with a sly lawyer to take over his estate.
Throw in a psychologist on her first case, love-struck teenagers, a fiery school bus driver, and more, and you’ve got a recipe for hilarity. At its core, this play is a heartwarming tale of individuality and the joy of embracing a little madness now and then.
Character List:
Main Characters:
Joe “Doc” Babcock – Eccentric, philosophical retired judge; 50s-60s.
Charlotte Dinsel – Doc’s conniving daughter; 30s-40s.
Gerald Firestone – A shifty lawyer; 40s-50s.
Mandy Pemberton – A young psychologist on her first case; mid-20s.
Steve Renfro – A friendly artist and teacher; 30s.
