The Last of Sherlock Holmes is a mystery with a twist. It's an ingenious depiction of the classic literary characters with James Iler as the beloved Sherlock Holmes and Grant Raddatz as Dr. Watson. Amanda Ulrey, Becky Joiner, and Hailey Moore round out this impressive cast. A dramatic capture, damsels in distress, fingerprints, and a surprise ending will have audiences of all ages chuckling all the way home.

The Valiant, by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemas, begins the night that convicted murderer James Dyke is to be executed.

In a comedy by Anton Chekhov, the matter of an outstanding debt brings two people into conflict. Matt Reynolds, Casey Schmeichel and Molly Johnson star in The Boor where fate decides that love can be born out of hatred with hilarious consequences.

Since the beginning of time, the story of creation had never quite been told the way Mark Twain did in The Diary of Adam and Eve. Creation and all of its simplicity and timelessness is cleverly portrayed through eyes of Adam, Brian Jackson, Eve, Cathryn Krause, and the sly snake, Rosa Lennix. This adaptation by Mark Bucci will tempt anyone to smile.
