Wheaton Drama

Wheaton Drama, Inc (WDI) has cast the Steven Dietz adaptation of Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure.

The cast is: Edward Barnett as Norton/Larrabee; Roy Birch as Sid Prince; Pat Daly as Policeman/Clergyman; Deven Ferber as Sherlock Holmes; Amy Johnson as Post Boy/Swiss Boy; Harold LeBoyer as Dr. Watson; Larry Mayo as Professor Moriarty; Karen Neidlinger as Madge Larrabee; Tom Viskocil as King of Bohemia; Sharon Voss as Irene Adler.

Annie Walker-Bright is directing, assisted by Dee Hicks. The production manager is Steve Blount. Amy Johnson is the stage manager.

Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure is set in Victorian England in a tidy flat at 221B Baker Street, and other locations. You don’t have to be a scholar of detective stories to enjoy the script Steven Dietz has crafted—there is enough intrigue and adventure, even a touch of romance with the inclusion of Holmes’ intellectual equal, Irene Adler.

Performances are January 25, 2013 through February 17, 2013. Shows are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Tickets are $13 for Thursdays; $16 for Fridays-Sundays. Dramatists Play Service licenses Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure.

Other shows in Wheaton Drama’s season are: The Sound of Music (November 9–December 9); The Good Life Café (November 10 only); It’s A Wonderful Life (radio show December 14-16); Full Circle (March 15-April 7, 2013 – confirmation of rights pending); and Into the Woods (May 17-June 9, 2013).

We do love technology and websites, but sometimes, little problems creep into the works. In case you are worrying that you may have missed our performances of Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure, Full Circle, and Into The Woods, there’s no need to panic. These shows will be performed in 2013. We should have the little date issue on this site correctly shortly. Thank you!

Wheaton Drama, Inc. (WDI) announces auditions for Full Circle. This World War II drama by Erich Maria Remarque (All Quiet on the Western Front) and Peter Stone (1776) has been forgotten since its original American production in the 1970’s. Wheaton Drama is proud to present the revival of this gripping and moving story. (more…)
