Community theater announces auditions

Lawrence Community Theatre will have auditions Feb. 25-26 for “Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure.” The play is written by Steven Dietz and based on the 1899 story by William Gillete and Arthur Conan Doyle.

The world’s most masterful detective investigates a mystery involving a kidnapped damsel, a stack of scandalous letters and the menacing denizens of London’s seamy underworld. Intellect and passion collide in a web of deception, where even the most insignificant clue can unlock the deepest secrets of mind and heart.

Roles are available for six men and two women, including Holmes, Dr. Watson, the king of Bohemia, Professor Moriarty, the opera singer Irene Adler, and villains James and Madge Larrabee and Sid Prince.

Charles Whitman will direct the show. Jeff Blair will assist. Production dates are April 11 through April 27.

Auditions will take place at 7 p.m. at the theater, 1501 N.H. Scripts may be checked out from the theater office beforehand. Call 843-7469 for more information.
