Cast Set for A SHERLOCK CAROL Regional Premiere at Austin Playhouse

Austin Playhouse has revealed the cast and creatives for the regional premiere of A Sherlock Carol, by playwright Mark Shanahan and directed by Lara Toner Haddock. Playing November 13–December 20, 2026 at Austin Playhouse. 

When a grown-up Tiny Tim askes Holmes to investigate the mysterious death of Ebenezer Scrooge, Sherlock must use his gifts to solve a Dickens of a Christmas mystery! A Sherlock Carol premiered Off-Broadway at New World Stages in November 2021, under the direction of playwright Mark Shanahan.

Combining aspects of two classics of Victorian literature and uniting them both in a joyful mug of holiday cheer, Mark Shanahan’s play is a festive feast for the senses. Beloved figures from childhood collide in unexpected and heartwarming ways, making a mystery with enough warmth to get you through the winter!

Casting for A Sherlock Carol includes Brennan Patrick (Describe the Night) as Sherlock Holmes; Huck Huckaby (AP Artistic Company, Primary Trust, Peril in the Alps) as Ebenezer Scrooge; with an ensemble of AP Artistic Company members: Ben Wolfe (Seared, Peril in the Alps), Bailey Ellis (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, The Importance of Being Earnest), Vivian Noble (Primary Trust, Fat Ham), and Bernadette Nason (A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, A Christmas Carol).
