Baker Street Readers present two Sherlock Holmes readings

BRATTLEBORO-The Baker Street Readers will return to the Hooker-Dunham Theater to present Sherlock Holmes: Two Mysteries on Saturday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m.

Founded in 2018, the Baker Street Readers present readings of various authors of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Still, they are most known for their readings of the canon of Sherlock Holmes stories, always featuring founders James Gelter as Holmes and Tony Grobe as Dr. Watson with a rotating list of guest stars.

Two Mysteries will feature a reading of Arthur Conan Doyle's short story The Adventure of the Second Stain, in which Holmes and Watson are called upon by the prime minister to solve a looming international crisis.

This will be followed by a reading of Gingerbelle, a short story by Gelter, in which our heroes are joined in the countryside by Inspector Lestrade to investigate the murder of a solitary man and his beloved pet.

Gelter and Grobe will be joined by local actors Asa Bigelow, Emmadora Boutcher, Anders Burrows, Patrick Caron, and Geof Dolman.

Admission is $10, cash at the door. To reserve a seat, email [email protected].
