ABOUT THE PLAY:
In this sharp-witted murder mystery, Sherlock Holmes and the Greek Chorus written by CP Stancich and directed by Munam Goodwin, the cast and crew of Lysistrata are preparing for opening night at the illustrious, but suspiciously accident-prone, Regal Theater. But when "accidents" start turning deadly, it's clear something sinister is afoot backstage. Enter a world-famous sleuth, drawn into the chaos to help uncover the truth before the final curtain falls—on someone else.

With a colorful cast of suspects, scandalous motives, and snappy dialogue that blends ancient Greek comedy with Victorian sensibilities, this is one mystery that’s as clever as it is outrageous. Murder, mayhem, and feminism? Now that’s a show worth dying for.

CAST:

Holmes: mature male or female
Watson: A bright young man
Mary: Watson's wife-modest but bright and earnest
Miriam Cray:  An intellectual widow of middle age
Alicia Cee (Lisa) - a passionate young woman, ambitious towards the theater
