Baker Street Beginnings by Gina Montét
Journey into the bustling streets of 1870s London to uncover the story behind one of the world’s greatest fictional detectives. Young Arthur Conan Doyle, an aspiring doctor with a curious mind, is taken under the wing of the brilliant Dr. Joseph Bell, a man with sharp observations and keen intellect. When a thrilling new mystery emerges, Arthur and his lively circle of friends must unravel a web of intrigue, danger, and deception. An exciting adventure that blends suspense, history, and heart, imagining how the seeds of a legend could have been planted in the mind of a young storyteller.
On the heels of last season’s hit, Heebie Jeebies: Tales from the Midnight Campfire, local playwright & educator, Gina Montét, returns to The Lab with another play commissioned specifically for our annual Heckscher Theatre for Families Production. With characters inspired by historical figures, this action-packed detective story is an entertaining and educational thrill-ride for audiences of all ages!
Want to solve your own mysteries? Join us for Detective Science! Starting an hour prior to showtime, explore various lobby stations where you can decode messages, solve puzzles, take fingerprints, and more!
Theatre Lab will conduct a book drive in support of Literacy Coalition of Palm Beaches and Friends of the Boca Raton Public Library during the run of the production. More information on the book drive effort can be found on Theatre Lab’s website and social media channels.
