Edison Community College...Sherlock Holmes Takes to Edison Stage
Stagelight Players put original spin on Victorian sleuth
The Edison Community College Stagelight Players is kicking off its fall performance Nov. 4 in a mysterious fashion at the Edison Theater with a production of “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily.”
The play pits Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional sleuths Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson against nemesis Professor Moriarty in a case that involves the British royalty, famed Victorian actress Lillie Langtry and the wit and larger-than-life presence of Oscar Wilde.
A tale of blackmail, intrigue and humor, “Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily” is a play that has something to appeal to everyone, with plot twists, love trysts and a saber-rattling conclusion that stays true to the spirit of Doyle’s famous works.
Adapted by Katie Forgette from an original script penned by Conan Doyle and William Gillette based on the short story “The Scandal in Bohemia,” this production is being directed by Edison faculty member William Loudermilk.
Tickets are $7 for Adults, $5 for students, $3 for Senior Citizens, and free for children under 12. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be held Nov. 4-6. Two morning performances for junior high and high school groups will also be held Nov. 3-4 at 9:15 a.m.
For more information, call 1-800-922-3722 ext. 1502 or email Chawunky@gmail.com.
