HUNTER―Sherlock Holmes fans will be delighted to hear that The Hound of the Baskervilles will be performed by the internationally acclaimed Aquila Theatre at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center in Tannersville, January 17-18.

Based on the novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and adapted by James Lavender, this family-friendly interactive version of the classic play will entertain and intrigue audiences of all ages.

Set in the eerie, fog-shrouded moors of England, this spine-tingling tale follows the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal companion Dr. Watson as they investigate the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, rumored to be the victim of a supernatural, ghostly hound. As they uncover chilling secrets and dark family histories, Holmes must use his razor-sharp intellect to solve a case where logic and superstition collide.

True to Aquila’s renowned reputation for high-quality, innovative performances, this production will blend suspense, sharp wit, and dynamic storytelling, bringing Doyle’s classic detective tale to vivid life. With Aquila’s legendary style and precision in bringing complex narratives to the stage, audiences will be captivated by unexpected twists, high drama, humor, and the thrill of one of literature’s most celebrated mysteries.

Directed by Desiree Sanchez Meineck, the cast includes Aquila Theatre company members Bruce Dean (Sherlock Holmes), Joel Trinidad (Watson), Maggie McMeans (Mrs. Hudson) and Alexander Sculli (Sir Grover Drakes-Billets). The audience may need to get in on the act in this participatory night to help Holmes and his makeshift theatre troupe replay and resolve the loose ends of the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, still rumored to be the victim of a supernatural and savage hound. Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical experience—where mystery, suspense, and Aquila’s trademark excellence are sure to leave you on the edge of your seat.

The Hound of the Baskervilles will be performed on Saturday, January 17 at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, January 18 at 4 p.m. at the Orpheum Performing Arts Center, 6050 Main Street, Tannersville.
