When Sir Charles Baskerville dies under terrifying circumstances on his Devonshire estate, local legend blames a curse involving a supernatural, demonic hound. Fearing for the safety of the new heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, Dr. James Mortimer enlists Sherlock Holmes to investigate. Holmes sends Dr. Watson to Baskerville Hall to guard Sir Henry while secretly conducting his own covert observations on the foggy moors.
Retold by two actors portraying over twenty parts with broad license, clever comic irreverence, audience interaction, spoof commercials, and live stage sound effects, Her Majesty’s Radio Theatre brings the suspense, sounds, and silliness of Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles home to Dixon, Illinois.

A Christmas Story
December 18th, 19th, and 20th
Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more. A Christmas Story is destined to become a theatrical holiday perennial.
