Hearing from One of Our Writers

One of our plays this year is Christian Neuhaus’s slight retelling of a classic Sherlock Holmes story. Christian shares his writing process and his enthusiasm for the show on Dane101.

He writes:

After seeing last year’s Actor’s Factory production, The Diviners, I was confident that Deanna and her cast could handle stage directions like “Kung Fu duel ensues” and intellectually provocative dialogue like “When these two cats eliminate the impossible, whatever remains is an action explosion!” or “The Red-Headed League has everything to do with the Disco Bandits.”

Kung Fu duel?…Action explosion?…Disco Bandits?…Could this be what he has in mind?

Find out, this weekend!

We had a productive final week of rehearsal in the Opera House. Our photographer made a few pictures Wednesday to whet your appetite. Here is one, a scene from Based on a True Story, by Nolan Veldey.

What kind of woman would wear a headset and a suit like that? And what could she have done to make that man so mad at her? Find out this weekend.
