A laugh-out-loud mystery, Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery puts a theatrical twist on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tale. Featuring a legendary curse, a suspicious cast of characters, and wildly inventive stagecraft, Ludwig’s clever adaptation delivers suspense, comedy, and Holmesian brilliance in equal measures. A small ensemble takes on dozens of roles, creating a tour-de-force of quick changes and comic ingenuity designed to keep audiences guessing and delighted.

Content Advisory: Haze and strobe effects will be used in this production as well as simulated gunfire and prop firearms on stage. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
