The Playhouse holiday tradition returns by popular demand for its third consecutive year!
Two literary legends collide when a grown-up Tiny Tim calls on Sherlock Holmes to investigate the mysterious death of Ebenezer Scrooge. This wildly inventive holiday mashup of Dickens and Doyle blends mystery, heart, and humor in a witty and wondrous theatrical treat. A New York Times Critic’s Pick and international sensation, A Sherlock Carol returns with members of its original, off-Broadway cast and some exciting new faces—ready to warm the coldest heart and delight audiences of all ages. Continue to make your holiday memories at the Playhouse. The game is once again afoot.
