Sherlock Holmes Production Class is for students in K – 12th grade.
Performances are on February 13, 2026 at 5PM and 7PM.
The game is afoot at the Missoula Children’s Theatre! MCT presents Sherlock Holmes, an original mystery based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous characters. Inspectors Lestrade, Gregson, and Drew present Sherlock Holmes with a baffling case: the disappearance of the famous and beloved MacGuffin Puffins from the London Zoo! Worse yet, Holmes’ rival, Moriarty, could be involved in the scheme. With the help of the Hounds of the Baskervilles, the inspectors, Doctor Watson, and a colorful collection of Londoners, Holmes follows the clues to end the mystery. Sherlock learns that it is impossible to be right all the time, and that relying on his friends to help doesn’t make him any less clever. MCT’s Sherlock Holmes is packed with red herrings, hijinks, royalty, and a diabolical villain (or two). See you at Baker’s Street!
This class’s participants will be the very first cast of MCT’s brand-new Sherlock Holmes musical! It’s a big deal! This show will tour internationally with our Red Truck Tour after it is premiered in Missoula, and to be a part of the maiden voyage is very special. The directors will not only teach the show to your student(s), but will also make necessary changes to the material to make sure it works for many years and communities to come. Rehearsals will be flexible, patient, and plenty of fun as the directors sharpen the show with the help of the talented cast. This is a unique opportunity for students to experience what it takes to put on a new show, and even to collaborate with the directors on blocking and characterization.
