A holiday classic returns!
Back at the Playhouse by popular demand! Moriarty was dead, to begin with. And Sherlock Holmes is a haunted man. When a grown up Tiny Tim asks Holmes to investigate the death of Ebenezer Scrooge, the Great Detective must use his gifts to solve a Dickens of a mystery! But, it’s a dark and treacherous Christmas Eve, and once again the night is haunted by the spirits of the past, present, and future. Can Holmes overcome his own ghosts to crack the case? Celebrate the holidays at the Playhouse with this heartwarming and highly theatrical treat for all ages!
