Dear Patrons,

Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville first came into my life when I was working at McCarter Theatre in Princeton, New Jersey. I found a copy in our Literary Manager’s office, and by the time I reached the second page, I was hooked. I was proud to produce its 2015 world premiere, and I am completely delighted to share it with you today in this brand new production.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes is one of the greatest characters in all English-language literature. He—along with his trusty sidekick and chronicler, Dr. Watson—has become a fixture of our culture, appearing again and again in adaptations across every medium. I think, in some ways, we all take comfort in the idea that there may be a rational mind capable of bringing order to chaos, of making sense of the most senseless crimes, and of explaining the seemingly unexplainable. Conan Doyle’s Holmes is enigmatic, energetic, and as mysterious as the crimes he solves. He is both man—a drug-addicted sometime chemist with little interest in anything that cannot aid in the solving of crime—and superman: a champion fighter who can bend iron with his bare hands, possessing seemingly limitless powers of deduction.

Ken Ludwig and Sherlock Holmes are a perfect match. Ludwig is one of the finest comic writers of our time, and in Baskerville he takes on what is widely regarded as Conan Doyle’s most famous—and funniest—story. His script captures not only the humor, but also the sense of adventure and mystery that have made The Hound of the Baskervilles beloved for generations. But Ludwig is, first and foremost, a theater artist. More than anything, Baskerville is a love letter to the art of theater itself. It celebrates the extraordinary power of actors to transform themselves and transport us across time and space. It invites you, the audience, to imagine as you once did—relishing the joy of a world being created right before your eyes.

And so, with just five performers and a handful of props, the game is afoot. Let’s play!

Yours,

Adam Immerwahr       
Artistic Director              

Village Theatre is the Puget Sound’s largest local producer of professional musical theater.

But what does it actually mean to “present” or “produce” a show?

Some theaters focus on presenting instead of producing, meaning they create space for national tours to come through a city, or they mount shows that were designed and constructed by another theater and then rented out as a package. And some theaters do a mix of presenting and producing! 

At Village Theatre, everything for every show is designed, constructed, and assembled in Issaquah and Everett. The sets, costumes, lighting, and more are all created specifically for you, our audience, every single time. This is done by a company of highly skilled professional theater artisans and technicians who build and run our shows—the majority of whom are your neighbors right here in the Puget Sound! 

The same is true of our performers: The actors and musicians you see and hear at Village are professional artists who live and work in the greater Seattle area. Our Brigadoon orchestra was the largest since Hello, Dolly! and what an incredible gift that was. How lucky we are to live in a community where beloved professional talent regularly appears on all your favorite stages across town, like The 5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle Rep, and your Village.

The Heart Behind the Humor:

Meet Ken Ludwig

By Ellen Morgan Peltz

Ken Ludwig shared that quote with me recently when I asked him why he thought his comedies were resonating so powerfully with today’s audiences. It wasn’t offered as a clever soundbite; it came from conviction. For Ludwig, comedy isn’t an escape from real life—it’s an act of imaginative courage. “When I write comedies,” he told me, “I’m writing a world I wish I lived in.” For Ludwig, comedy is hope staged out loud.

That core belief has guided a career that has earned Ludwig a reputation as America’s modern master of theatrical comedy. With more than 30 plays and musicals that have earned him two Tony Awards, three Olivier Awards, and countless regional productions, he’s become a playwright whose name alone suggests an evening of joy, wit, and theatrical inventiveness. Village Theatre audiences were introduced to Ludwig through Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood in the 2023–2024 season, and this year we are thrilled to welcome him back with Baskerville.

Ludwig traces his theatrical roots to what he calls “the Great Tradition” of comedy—beginning with Shakespeare, then Goldsmith, Sheridan, and Wilde. He speaks of that lineage with deep admiration, and his plays reflect it: a love of language, elegant absurdity, mistaken identities, romantic optimism, and characters who trip, tumble, or bluster their way to surprising emotional truth. Yet very little of what he writes is pure comedy: Crazy for You is a musical comedy, Lend Me a Tenor is a comedic farce, Sherwood combines adventure and humor, and Baskerville brings mystery and comedy into a single theatrical playground.

Ludwig’s expansive approach to comedy comes from his definition of comedy itself. It’s not about punchlines—it’s about perseverance. “The spirit of comedy is in the attitude that you just don’t give up,” he says. “Even when everything goes wrong, the characters keep doing their best, and somehow, things turn out all right.” That philosophy resonates powerfully with audiences, and it’s especially meaningful in a theatrical moment where laughter can feel like relief, release, and restoration all at once.

Village Theatre audiences will notice another signature Ludwig feature on full display in Baskerville: a visible, palpable love for the theater as an art form. Inspired after pulling The Hound of the Baskervilles off his shelf one afternoon, Ludwig fell in love with the story’s propulsive mystery. But instead of staging it naturalistically—with a cast large enough to overwhelm most theater budgets—he reinvented it for five actors portraying dozens of roles through rapid costume changes, heightened physicality, and imaginative stagecraft. As he puts it, “The play is meant to be as much about theater as it is about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.”

Baskerville also holds a meaningful connection to Village Theatre: it’s where Artistic Director Adam Immerwahr and Ludwig first crossed creative paths. Immerwahr served on the artistic team for the original 2015 world premiere co-produced by McCarter Theatre in Princeton and Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., and the two went on to collaborate on several productions. Ludwig credits Immerwahr with being a major contributor to the career success he experienced in years immediately following Baskerville. “I think Adam is one of the great theater people in America,” says Ludwig. “He’s astute, capable, and someone who understands comedy on a deep level.”

When Artistic Director Adam Immerwahr asked me to direct Village Theatre’s upcoming production of Grease, I reflected on my eight-year-old self, watching the 1978 movie for the first time, falling in love with musicals and the idea of high school through all those hours of worn video tape. I thought about the energetic rock-and-roll score and the iconic moves in “Greased Lighting” that inspired my own desire to be a choreographer. But there was a more important reason than nostalgia and ambition that made me certain I had to say yes to Grease: my daughter, Viola.

At 16, Viola is now navigating her own path through the brutal social and academic demands associated with one’s junior year of high school. One thing has remained the same since the time of Grease’s Rydell High 67 years ago: being a teenager is hard. Physics homework, SAT prep, cafeteria gossip, an upcoming school dance—those are just the start of a typical day’s weighted conversations! Existential questions about her place in the world, or concern over what to wear to school in the morning, can generate equal levels of panic.

The characters in Grease experience a similar type of uncertainty and pressure, whether it’s Sandy’s need to fit in; Frenchy’s worry over her future career; or Danny’s internal conflict between his public persona and his true self. Luckily, like Sandy with the Pink Ladies and Danny with his Burger Palace Boys, Viola has found safety and support with her theater kids, an incredible group of friends she has bonded with through her acting class. 

I want to direct this show and tell this story for my teenage daughter because the lessons Grease taught my pre-adolescent self remain true: an incredible group of friends and a few rockin’ musical numbers CAN solve all your problems (well, at least a few). 

I am excited to be a part of bringing this beloved show to life, and I hope it will make you—the Village Theatre community—and my daughter Viola proud. 

Don’t be late for class! Join us at Rydell High this spring for Grease, MAR 24 – MAY 3 (Issaquah) & MAY 9 – JUN 7 (Everett). Grab your favorite seat in the classroom (ahem, theatre) at VillageTheatre.org/Grease. 

Thank you for your commitment to the Village Theatre family. You are one of the reasons our stages come alive show after show, and we simply couldn’t do it without you—all 12,500 of you!
