Match Wits With The Master
March 23 – March 31
The Comedy Playhouse will present The Mystery Genius of A. C. Doyle's Sherlock Holmes March 23rd to March 31st. The Mystery Genius of A. C. Doyle's Sherlock Holmes consists of four stories from Doyle's original canon. The stories have never been presented at The Comedy Playhouse and include The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb and The Adventure of the Norwood Builder.
Conan Doyle introduced the character of Sherlock Holmes in 1887 in his novel A Study in Scarlet. Doyle was 27 years old when he wrote the novel and claimed to have written it in less than three weeks. Between 1887 and 1926, Doyle wrote four novels and fifty-six short stories chronicling the adventures of his famous detective.
Doyle said that the character of Sherlock Holmes was inspired by Dr. Joseph Bell for whom Doyle had worked as a clerk at the Edingurgh Royal Infirmary. Like Holmes, Bell was noted for drawing large conclusions from the smallest observations.

Coming in May…
The Comedy Genius
Of Don Marquis.
The Comedy Playhouse will present The Comedy Genius of Don Marquis May 11th – May 20th. Don Marquis was a funny man, a very funny man. As a daily columnist for the New York Sun and later the New York Tribune, Don Marquis introduced many comic characters to his readership. The Old Soak was a lovable reprobate who constantly misquoted the Bible and bemoaned the existence of Prohibition. Hermione was an impressionable young girl who bubbled about the most recent topic of her "forward thinkers" group.
Perhaps Don Marquis's most inspired creation came one March morning when he returned to his office to find a complete column in his typewriter. The column was perfectly spelled and punctuated, but there were no capitalizations. This was because it was written overnight by a cockroach named Archy. Being a cockroach he couldn't reach the "Shift" key in order to capitalize a letter.
For the rest of Don Marquis's career, Archy would "submit" a column several times a month. Archy specialized in chronicling "life from below." Archy's columns included the adventures of his friends, most notably the office cat named Mehitabel. Mehitabel was in her ninth life, and she claimed that in one of her earlier lives, she had been Cleopatra.
Laugh with Nell Summers and Bruce Bieszki as they present The Comedy Genius Don Marquis. Admission is $12, with discounts available. The Comedy Genius of Don Marquis plays May 11th to May 20th. Performances will be Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30pm and Sunday afternoons at 3:00pm.
The Comedy Playhouse is located at 3620 N. 1st Avenue at the northeast corner of 1st Avenue and Prince Road. The Comedy Playhouse has lit, adjacent parking. The Comedy Genius of Don Marquis is apppriopriate for ages ten and up.
