Auburn Area Community Theatre (AACT) Young Performers, ages 13-18, are gearing up to bring you tales of mystery and enduring friendship with “Holmes and Watson: The Game’s Afoot.” This show is director by AACT Young Performer Alum, Nick DiJulio, a junior at Auburn University working on his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Performance.Though the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center is under renovation, AACT has partnered with Grace United Methodist Church to bring these tales to life- the show must go on!

When desperate people come to 221B Baker Street in search of aid, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are always there to help. Based on four classic short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, this play is comprised of four different stories, each story with its own cast. This quartet of conundrums will put even Holmes' deductive genius and Watson's stout heart to the test. The remarkable duo must match wits with a dastardly blackmailer, recover a coronet of priceless gems, trace a vanished bride, and solve a murder so strange that Watson considers it the most singular of all their cases.

Performances will be on March 23rd, 24th, and 25th at 6:30 pm. There will also be a matinee performance on March 25th at 2:00 pm. All performances will take place Grace United Methodist Church. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. Call 334-246-1084 or visit here for ticket purchases and more information.
