TILLAMOOK— The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts announces its latest production, Ken Ludwig’s “The Game’s Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays,” directed by R. A. Coon. This show is made possible by the generosity of Haltiner Heating & Sheet Metal and with support from the Oregon Community Foundation.

It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play “Sherlock Holmes,” has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is mysteriously murdered the festivities quickly turn dangerous. It is up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Starring in this production are Robert Kratz, Sandra Koops, RJ Wynia, Briar Smith, Steele Fleisher, Barbi Fox, Sarah Edwards and Robert Buckingham.

Show dates are Nov. 28, 29, 30 and Dec. 5 and 6. Friday and Saturday shows start at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. Tickets can be purchased at the door, or call Diamond Art Jewelers at 503-842-7940.
