TACOMA LITTLE THEATRE PRESENTS
HOLMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Tacoma, WA- Tacoma Little Theatre continues its 101st season, A SEASON OF
FIRSTS, with a hilarious “whodunit” comedy for the season, Holmes for the
Holidays (or The Game’s Afoot), written by Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor,
The Fox on the Fairway), and directed by Jennifer York.
It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world
over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his
fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But
when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this
isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up
to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to
track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and
hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas
holidays.
Tacoma Little Theatre’s production of *Holmes for the Holidays *features:
Dave Champagne (William Gillette), Lissa Valentine (Martha Gillette), Frank
Roberts (Simon Bright), Robin Mae Bacar (Aggie Wheeler), Blake R. York
