Performance Information
For May 2024, AACT presents a comedy thriller, written by award winning Ken Ludwig. It is 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 estate for a weekend of revelry. When one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this house of tricks and mirrors turn dangerous. It's up to Gillette himself, as he assumes his on-stage persona of Detective Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim falls. It would help if the bodies would just stay put! The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit directed by Andrea Holliday. All performances take place at Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center. $12/Adults, $10/Children & Seniors. Tickets are available at AuburnACT.org.
Production: Thursday - Saturday, 5/10 – 5/18 at 7 p.m.
Matinee: Sunday 5/12 & 5/19 at 2 p.m.
