PRESS QUOTES

“While “Under Ceege” is a uniquely Michigan tale that lets the audience be a fly on the wall of a specific Black family, it’s a story that resonates with people from all walks of life in the Mitten State and beyond.”

-Matthew Vande Bunte, MLive

“…a compelling look at a fragmented black family struggling to survive financially and emotionally in modern America that can be harsh on people who haven’t made all the right choices or given equitable opportunities.”

-David Kiley, Encore Michigan

SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE ADVENTURE OF THE GHOST MACHINE

by David MacGregor

April 15 – August 27, 2022

London: November 1905. England and the world are changing. As civilization edges towards the horrors of World War I, every day brings new tensions in Europe and technological advances that make Victorian England feel like a distant dream. Into the rooms of Sherlock Holmes come Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison—with new inventions that will alter the course of human history—only both inventions have gone missing. Can Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler somehow unravel the latest diabolical scheme of the late Professor Moriarty’s evil daughter, Marie Chartier? Can world peace be achieved by the most powerful weapon ever created? Can death itself be overcome by a scientific genius? And can Sherlock Holmes survive the greatest personal loss of his career?

PRESS QUOTES

“MacGregor’s script is taut and definitely worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.”

-David Kiley, Encore Michigan

“Director Angie Kane excels with the various movements of the cast as the entirety of the show stays confined, as did the previous iterations, to Sherlock Holmes’ lavish bachelor pad (if these shows were to continue, I’d love to see Holmes deduce crimes at the scene) and everything feels organic and natural.”

-Nate Adams, The Only Critic
