    Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery

    The game is afoot … again! In 2016, Austin Playhouse became one of the first companies to produce Ken Ludwig’s comedic adaption of The Hound of the Baskervilles after its debut in D.C. Now Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation stalks the boards again, with Ben Wolfe returning as amiable and often overlooked assistant Dr. Watson, and Aaron D. Alexander donning the deerstalker as the legendary consulting detective. However, Ludwig’s version is best known as a quick-change delight, with cast members Sarah Zeringue, Stephen Mercantel, and Bailey Ellis playing every other resident of Baskerville Hall and the haunted moors beyond. – Richard Whittaker

    A Christmas Carol

    It’s a timeless story, but revisiting A Christmas Carol now seems especially timely, what with billionaires running roughshod as income inequality rises with no sign of relief. Dickens wrote the story while under financial pressure, and the story was intended to touch the hearts of the rich and powerful. It was a nice idea, and the fact it’s been adapted countless times is testament to its broad appeal, but some of the real Scrooges may just be beyond its reach. We’ll keep trying though! Zach brings its production back for a 10th year, with fresh songs and special extras like commemorative tickets and experiences. – Kat McNevins

    The Ghosts of Christmas Past

    If the Halloween spirit lingers in your soul while you’re trying to transition to a merry frame of mind, don’t resort to the Mariah Carey immersion therapy just yet. The crew at Archive Theater invites folks to gather in the Merriwether family parlor for Victorian takes that are equal parts spooky (think Krampus) and merry. Absolutely no Dickens allowed. Come early to check out the Christmas Market and pre-game with drinks, treats, and live music. Suitable for ages 8 and up. – James Renovitch
