Murder, Mystery, Music, and Merriment meet on the Wells stage this holiday season with Mark Shanahan’s joyful and clever A Sherlock Carol. Moriarty is dead, to begin with, and Sherlock is a haunted man. But when a grown Tiny Tim comes knocking on his door asking for an investigation into the untimely death of Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge, the Great Detective must use his gifts to solve a Dickens of a Christmas mystery! Uncover the mystery through this jovial journey in one of the best places to be during the holiday season…Why the Wells Theatre, of course! It’s simply Elementary!
