HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Columbia Theatre for the Performing
Arts is presenting Aquila Theatre in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” for one performance
only on Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m.
According to Columbia Theatre/Fanfare Director Roy Blackwood, the legendary sleuth,
Sherlock Holmes, takes the stage in this witty, fast-paced production by the acclaimed
Aquila Theatre, and, as is customary with Aquila Theatre, there will be a twist to
the production.
“The clever Holmes skillfully maneuvers the twisted web of London’s most intriguing
cases with his split second deductions revealing intimate and useful details of a
person’s life,” he said. “Sherlock Holmes is a master of disguise and a brilliant
actor, as well as a composer and musician – is there anything this character can’t
do?”
Tickets for the production range from $25 to $39 and are available at the Columbia
Theatre box office Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. or by phone at (985)
543-4371. Patrons may also get tickets online at www.columbiatheatre.org.
Special $13 Southeastern student tickets are also offered for this production. Students
must present their university ID at the box office.
All Southeastern faculty, retired faculty or university staff with ID may purchase
one ticket for “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” and receive one ticket at half
price. Both tickets must be purchased in the same transaction and for the same price
at the Columbia box office. Contact the box office at 985-543-4371 for more information.
