Looking for performers for "A Sherlock Carol" Play. Please see the details below. About the project: Set in 1894, after Holmes’ return from the Reichenbach Falls, A Sherlock Carol follows Sherlock Holmes as he stumbles through a London that doesn’t seem to need him. After all, without Moriarty, who is Sherlock Holmes? He’s pulled out of retirement by Dr. Timothy “Tiny Tim” Cratchit, who is all grown up now and wants Holmes to help him solve the murder of his benefactor, Ebeneezer Scrooge. Will Sherlock take the case and remember what is truly important in life, love, and friendship, or will he let the ghosts of his past bring him down?
