| Show Info | The play is afoot! Comedic genius Ken Ludwig (LEND ME A TENOR; MOON OVER BUFFALO) transforms Arthur Conan Doyle's classic The Hound of the Baskervilles into a murderously funny adventure. Sherlock Holmes is on the case. The Baskerville heirs have been dispatched one by one and, to find their ingenious killer, Holmes and Watson must brave the desolate moors before a family curse dooms its newest descendant. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than forty characters. Does a wild hellhound prowl the moors of Devonshire? Can our heroes discover the truth in time? Join the fun and see how far from elementary the truth can be. |

Roles
| Role | M/F | Age | Description | Holmes | M | 0+ | A brooding, stubborn, skeptical, quick-witted genius with a wry sense of humor. The prototype for the modern mastermind detective, Holmes has little patience for imbecility for his mind moves far too fast. | Watson | M | 0+ | A modest and intelligent partner to Holmes. Watson is a patient and sensitive observer, but his detecting capabilities are no match for the lightning-swift deductive reasoning of Holmes. | Actor 1, Actor 2, Actor 3 | M/F | 0+ | These (3) separate roles (in total) portray (36) different characters. Those interested in one of these three tracks must display versatility, strong comedic timing, and must be comfortable with accent work. Male, female, and non-identifying actors will be considered for all tracks. |
