Teenish Theater Workshop
This year's Spring 2025 Teenish Theater Workshop is SHERLOCKS! SHERLOCKS is an adaptation by Miller of the classic Sherlock Holmes stories The Blue Carbuncle, The Copper Beeches, and The Red-Headed League. This high-energy, engaging play links the stories with vivid ensemble work, and allows the chance for multiple actors to play the roles of the daring and eccentric Sherlock Holmes, and ever-befuddled, ever-loyal sidekick Watson.
