A Sherlock Carol

This November 26–December 27

The world-famous miser is dead, to begin with… and Sherlock Holmes is seeing ghosts. Retired after Moriarty’s death, Holmes is pulled back into action because of a missing gem, strange visions, and a ghostly visitor. With help from Scrooge and a host of other beloved characters, Holmes unravels a twisty tale of Christmas carols and confections in this witty, heartwarming, and surprising mashup of Dickens and Doyle.
