Sherlock Meets the Phantom- Theatre Class
[fancy_header variation="silver"]Ages 8 and up[/fancy_header]
Tuition: $175
The Virginia City Opera House is on the verge of complete ruin! The sinister "Phantom" has been terrifying the performers by climbing the walls and swinging from the scenery. Only one man can solve the bizarre goings-on, the world famous master detective — Sherlock Holmes! The fantastic (and hilarious) aspects of the case intrigue Sherlock. Could the Phantom be the mysterious "Chiquita Banana," or could it be an irate composer who, after submitting "I’ll Take You Home Again, Kathleen, ’Cause The Avocado Dip Has Turned You Green" was fired from the theatre? Only you and Sherlock Holmes can decide!
Rehearsals on Tuesday evenings, 6:00pm - 8:00pm
January 7th-February 18th, & Monday March 2nd
Performance March 3rd at 7pm

Winter Theatre Skills Classes We Offer
Death Aboard the Duchess- A Mystery Play
[fancy_header variation="silver"]Ages 8 and up[/fancy_header]
Tuition: $175
Instructor: Fred Vogel
Here’s a short, simple mystery that doesn’t take itself too seriously and offers engaging characters and fun twists. The Duchess is the finest little ship to sail the silver seas. As the travelers and crew prepare to depart on their ocean cruise, no one would expect a murderer to be among them. When the esteemed alchemist, Dr. Grover Cadigan, goes overboard, it’s up to James Bumble, the lovable and clumsy deckhand to figure out who did it and why. Was it the mean-spirited first mate Mr. Tibbons or the always calm Captain Cooper? It couldn’t have been the demanding rich lady or her overworked butler. How about the reporter running from her mistakes? Maybe it was the newlywed couple or the beautiful lounge singer. Whoever it was, Death Aboard the Duchess is sure to keep everyone guessing and laughing until the very end.
