West Springfield, MA (12/21/25) – West Springfield’s Majestic Theater will present The Hound of the Baskervilles January 8 through February 15. Written by Stephen Canny and John Nicholson, the play is a fast-paced, hilarious parody of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes mystery.
The plot involves legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty companion, Dr. Watson’s, investigation into the mysterious death of Sir Charles Baskerville, who is believed to have been killed by a supernatural hound. The comedy features three actors who play multiple roles, with plenty of physical comedy, slapstick and quick costume changes, while bringing the eerie plot to life in a high-energy romp that both spoofs and celebrates the iconic detective story.
Gina Kaufmann will direct the play. Hope Rose Kelly is stage manager, and production assistants are Elie Berman and Michael Garcia. Dawn McKay is costume designer and Dan Rist is lighting designer. Scenic designer is Dana Weintraub, and Ryan Hickey is sound designer.
The cast includes Jack Grigoli (Sir Henry, et al), Jay Sefton (Watson, et al), and Abuzar Farrukh (Holmes, et al). Understudies include Tom Dahl and Gabriel CiFuentes.
Tickets to the show range from $35-$38 and can be purchased in person at the box office, by calling (413) 747-7797, or online at https://www.majestictheater.com/hound-of-the-baskervilles. Box office hours are Monday – Friday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
