The Warner Theatre has announced its 2017-2018 Warner Stage Company season.  The Main Stage season opens in November with AVENUE Q and follows with ONCE, THE FULL MONTY and Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID.

During the golden age of the American theatre, one man was bold enough to bring the role of Sherlock Holmes to the live stage. He was actor and playwright, William Gillette, an inimitable theatrical force of legendary proportions. Now the Archway Theatre brings William Gillette to the stage through the work of famous Broadway playwright, Ken Ludwig, with 'Postmortem,' April 1 through April 30. Performances are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $28.

This notion is the driving force behind Fiction, a mind-bending work by PEN U.S.A. Award-winning playwright Steven Dietz, whose cunningly plotted play has been called a "mental Rubik's cube." Fiction creates and then destroys a seemingly conventional love triangle involving long-married writers Linda and Michael Waterman, and their mutual muse, Abby Drake.

A famous actor. His eccentric family. His theatrical co-stars. One psychic. And a year-old murder. What could possibly go wrong with this party?

The Belmont Theatre will present the Murder Mystery/Thriller POSTMORTEM written by York native Ken Ludwig in The Bon-Ton Studio October 21-23 & 27-30. The mystery takes place in  April of 1922 and the cast of William Gillette's latest Broadway revival of 'Sherlock Holmes' has assembled for a weekend of relaxation at his magnificent medieval castle on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River. For entertainment, actor-manager, playwright and heart-throb William Gillette, best known for his 30-year portrayal of the famous crime sleuth Sherlock Holmes, has arranged a seance. Now the scene is set for his greatest role. Someone is trying to murder Gillette and he suspects it is one of his guests. Intrepid, eccentric and wildly romantic, Gillette plans to solve the case himself a la Sherlock Holmes. 

The finest radio drama of the 1930's was The Mercury Theatre On The Air, founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman. Their brief run, just shy of two years, presented many classical pieces of literature, created many memorable moments, and shook an entire country with it's terrifying portrayal of "War of the Worlds." This October, Main Street Theatre Works (MSTW) is re-creating another one of their literary classic radio plays with a live stage production of The Immortal Sherlock Holmes, October 21st, 22nd & 23rd at the Native Sons Hall, in Sutter Creek.
