Set behind Lindsey\u2019s dilapidated home on the haunted banks of Ebenezer Creek, the story weaves between time periods, memories, and ancestral trauma as the women endure not only the threat of otherworldly creatures but the oppressive echoes of a theocratic regime and deep personal loss. When a wounded white soldier named Richard emerges from the creek, his arrival sparks tension, mistrust, and complicated questions about survival, patriarchy, and redemption. As strange phenomena intensify and the presence of the creatures grows increasingly insidious, the trio must navigate shifting loyalties, long-buried truths, and the lingering spirits of a dark historical past. Rooted in the legacy of the 1864 Ebenezer Creek Massacre and layered with sci-fi elements, If The Creek Don\u2019t Rise is a tragic, genre-blending meditation on faith, resistance, the ghosts that live in our water, and how they can set us free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You Will Burn &#8211; At a quarterly board meeting for the East Indiana Youth Symphony Orchestra, Sylvia and Dennis discover that the corrupt organization they work for is a far deeper hell than they could have ever imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Biography:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tyree Marshall is a Los Angeles-based Playwright, Actor, Producer, and Director.
