“Sherlock Holmes,” a suspense comedy, will be performed by a cast of 25 on Friday and Saturday, March 21 and 22 at 7:30 pm in the school’s Dr. Richard J. Radel Auditorium.
This more traditional adaptation is based on stories created by Arthur Conan Doyle himself, combining elements from some of the Holmes’ famous cases, including “The Scandal in Bohemia” and “The Hound of the Baskervilles.”

In Victorian England, Sherlock Holmes (Jake Deska) and Dr. Watson (MJ Bird) are attempting to recover incriminating letters for an insurance company. What starts out as a simple case of blackmail evolves into a much more complicated scheme that pits Holmes against his arch nemesis, Professor Moriarty (Kristi Shultz).
Alice Faulkner (Danielle Buchanan), who has the letters, is kidnapped by the evil James and Madge Larrabee (Josh Crocetto and Emily Weaver) until Holmes rescues her.
