Ken Ludwig's BASKERVILLE: A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY
Showing May 11 to June 4, 2017
at Coach House Theatre in Akron
Thursday-Friday-Saturday nights, Sunday afternoons
Akron's Coach House Theatre is proud to present Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, playing May 11 to June 4, 2017.
Presented in collaboration with OHIO SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL, Baskerville is a new tour de force by Coach House favorite Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor, Leading Ladies, The Fox on the Fairway) in which five actors play over 40 different roles in a comic sendup of the great detective's most famous case.
Baskerville stars MARK STOFFER as Sherlock Holmes and SCOTT SHRINER as Doctor Watson. And playing a head-spinningly huge number of roles each are TESS BURGLER, GEOFF KNOX* and JOE PINE. Burgler, Knox and Pine will inhabit the large roster of colorful and crucial supporting characters in the story, from Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard to a Texas heir, from a sexy nurse to a Castilian hotel desk clerk.
The show is directed by Coach House Artistic Director NANCY CATES**, a veteran helmer of many Ken Ludwig productions in the area including Royal Coach Award-winning runs of Lend Me a Tenor and Leading Ladies here at Coach House.
Baskerville will be presented May 11 to June 4. Curtain times are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Dinner or brunch is available to all theatre patrons prior to select performances, at the Akron Woman's City Club next door. (Reservations are required, at 330-762-6261.)
There will be a special $12 preview performance Thursday, May 11 only, at 8 p.m. The official opening night is Friday, May 12. Group rates are available.
