Though initially facing charges themselves, super sleuths, from left, Sherlock Holmes (Mike Landreth), Jane Marple (Sara Gard) and Nancy Drew (Hannah Riddle) will be on hand to solve Christian Family Theater’s “Mystery in the Library” this weekend.Strange happenings are afoot this week in Storybook Land.
Just days before Christian Family Theater presents its next stage production, various characters have been brought up on various charges.
Cinderella has been locked up for identity theft and grand theft auto. Goldilocks is charged with breaking and entering. Tom Sawyer has been detained for repeated truancy.
Hopefully, their alleged crimes are simply misunderstandings because they and a host of other characters are needed this weekend to solve the “Mystery in the Library.”
Each night after the sun sets and the library closes, characters come to life and emerge from their books to live a life outside their stories. On one particular evening, a grim and grave crime is committed, right in the library. As a result, his Majesty King Henry VIII – the famous monarch from the English history books – has disappeared.
Gathered for this evening are the characters who were present in the library at the time of the nasty deed, including Alice from Wonderland, Robin Hood, King Arthur, the Cat in the Hat, Thumbelina. Fortunately, Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and Nancy Drew will arrive to investigate and, with the audience’s help, apprehend the perpetrator of the heinous crime before the night ends.
Dinner will be served at the Friday and Saturday performances, Jan. 27-28. Only desserts will be served at the Sunday matinee. The show is appropriate for all ages.
