It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of holiday 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, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the holidays.

Lend Us Your Ears reading series presents “Kimberly Akimbo”
LEND US YOUR EARS presents this heartwarmingly esoteric comedy that was the source of the 2023 Tony-winning musical for the Pay-What-You-Will play-reading series.
This is a pay-what-you-will performance, no tickets necessary. General seating.
LEND US YOUR EARS, the reading series at the Bellingham Theatre Guild, unfolds the play Kimberly Akimbo, the esoteric comedy from David Lindsay-Abaire that spawned the latest Tony-winning Broadway musical. Kimberly’s awkward challenges in a family that does the wrong thing for the right reasons performs on Saturday, December 2nd, 2023, at 2:00 pm.
The Pay-What-You-Will performance, directed by Les Campbell, follows Kimberly, a teenager who suffers from a disease that ages her rapidly; her dysfunctional parents who hide their denial in bad choices, self-harm, or drinking; her hilariously larcenous aunt; and the boy she likes who likes her back. As Kimberly realizes time to live life fully is growing short, she’s driven to find a way to free herself from time-wasting and embrace the moments she has and the moments she needs. Lindsay-Abaire’s wildly anarchic actions and vibrantly bizarre characters, which propel Kimberly Akimbo in comic and heart-felt ways, will be performed by talented local actors, and contains adult languages, and adult situations. And is not, repeat NOT, the musical.
LEND US YOUR EARS (with the mission: Good Plays Read Well) produces matinee readings with local actors in front of the curtains, with general admission seating and the audience choosing what it wants to pay. No reservations necessary and any questions can be directed to LUYE Artistic Director, Sean Walbeck (sean@gigglewax.com, 360-647-9242).
KIMBERLY AKIMBO is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
