The Game's Afoot; or Holmes for the Holidays at Oak Ridge High School Theatre

Oak Ridge High School Theatre Presents The Game's Afoot; or Holmes for the Holidays! Show dates are November 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 at 7PM with Saturday Matinees at 2PM

Enjoy a night of comedic live theatre at Oak Ridge High School Theatre Department’s production of The Game's Afoot; or Holmes for the Holidays brought to life by talented student performers!

It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays. 

This production includes mature themes, mild adult language, and simulated violence or stage combat.
