Beginning in 1980, this touching comedy follows a typical American family as they meet to celebrate holidays over a 30-year span.

12/27/21 – Encore performances scheduled Jan. 7-8

12/1/21 – Dec. 3-5 performances of THE GAME’S AFOOT have been cancelled due to a COVID case in the cast. We are still hoping to go ahead with the Dec. 10-12 shows or, if needed, to reschedule the performances to January. Information will be updated once plans are finalized.

THE GAME’S AFOOT (or HOLMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS)
St. Paul Players
Dec. 3-12 | Jan. 7-8
St. Paul Lutheran Church [Reading]

Directed by Sarah Papin
Produced by Nick Huitger

Cast: Neil Geoppinger as William Gillette/Sherlock Holmes, Julie Jordan as Martha Gillette, Owen Kelm as Felix Geisel/Moriarty, Shelby Carter as Aggie Wheeler/Alice, Nate Huitger as Simon Bright/Count Zerlinksy, Katherine Anderson as Madge Geisel/Marian, Cathy Alter as Daria Chase & Molly Simmons as Inspector Harriet Goring

Breathtaking mystery and high hilarity in equal parts, this play tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, who has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he’s Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Meals will not be served before the performances due to COVID safety precautions.
