Olympia High School to perform the play “Sherlock Holmes”
Olympia High School presents the drama Sherlock Holmes, an adaptation of the original script first performed in 1899. Our shows on October 11 and October 12 will be performed at 7:00 PM; there will be a matinee performance on October 13 at 2:00 PM. All performances will be on stage in the Olympia High School auditorium.
A neatly-woven conglomeration of several of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short stories, this plot centers around Alice Faulkner (Natalie Collins), a young woman who holds certain documents which could, if made public, lead to an international scandal and perhaps even world war! Under the watchful eye of James and Madge Larrabee (Gage Hunt-Schroers and Mabry Lynn), poor Alice is trapped and helpless to escape their clutches. When safecracker Sid Prince (Felix Brown) brings her captors to consult the diabolical Professor Moriarty (Leo Durheim), it seems that Sherlock Holmes (Ainsley Mahoney) will have to use all of his wits to save the day.
Doctor Watson (Grayson Rummel) leads the rest of a large cast who are either working for or working against Holmes as we wander from the streets to London to fine drawing rooms to Moriarty’s hidden lair.
This production is directed by Wendy Wade, with tech design by Megan Whitecotton and costuming by Heather Schwarting.
