A Sherlock Carol

Closing the 2026 season will be a funny and delightful crossover of two literary classics. “A Sherlock Carol” is by Mark Shanahan and will be directed by Hester Sachse. The show will open December 4th and run weekends through December 20th, 2026.

In the play, Moriarty is dead, to begin with. And Sherlock Holmes is a haunted man. But when a grown-up Tiny Tim asks Holmes to investigate the death of Ebeneezer Scrooge, the great detective must use his gift to solve this Dickens-of-a-mystery. Typically performed by only 6 actors, New York and London reviews for the play celebrated its clever, crowd-pleasing, and funny script. It will be a terrific, family-friendly way to end the GCA season.
