Julia Dowling has an unexpected visitor who intends to escort her off to the afterlife. Infusing comedy into the classic Death Takes a Holiday, The Christmas Spirit is set in contemporary Long Island. Julia persuades Death to give her one more day to enjoy Christmas and invites him to be her guest at a festive party. The next day the house fills with bickering relatives, friends, the local priest - and Death, masquerading as a human, singing carols and drinking egg nog. Moments of high farce, drama and even romance arise as bright holiday fantasies collide with a not-so-merry reality. Winner of the 2002 Florida Repertory Theatre Congress of Jewelers Play Series.

Preble Players began as a dream, developed into a plan, and became a reality when Founder and Board President Lisa Marling founded the non-profit theatre in 2018. Its founding board members included Lisa Marling, Scott Marling, Elaine Buckler, Christina Waxler, December Harper, and Starla Wing. From 2018 to mid-2020, it was known as The Star Theatre at Eagles Point and leased the auditorium in Eaton’s old high school. When the pandemic turned the world upside down in 2020, the board eventually decided to rebrand as Preble Players and take the shows on the road.

Preble Players is an Ohio non-profit organization and federally recognized 501(c)(3) entity bringing performing arts, educational opportunities, and other community outreach events to Preble County and the region.
