Miss Holmes Returns, a staged reading
|
GreenMan Theatre is currently on the hunt for a new space to rehearse and perform, as announced in prior programs and newsletters. In the ongoing process of moving, we will be dismantling our lighting rig and other theatrical elements this spring. In order to allow us enough time to properly exit the space, we have chosen to pivot our plans and postpone the production of Bach at Leipzig to a future season.
We would like to invite you to revisit the world of Miss Sherlock Holmes as we present a staged reading. It will look a little different from our normal productions but will still delight you with some characters you met this fall and introduce you to new roles as we tell you this story. Miss Holmes Returns By Christopher M. Walsh. Based on characters by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle GreenMan Theatre presents a Staged Reading A nurse and activist finds herself on the run, wanted for murder. Pursued by authorities who choose to ignore a clear case of self-defense due to her Indian heritage and influence from sinister figures from the shadowy criminal underworld, she turns to Miss Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Dorothy Watson for help. Performances will be May 9 - 18. Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30. Sundays at 2pm The performances will take place in the Education Center of the Elmhurst History Museum at 120 E Park in Elmhurst.
