Sherlock Holmes and the First Baker Street Irregular: “the game’s afoot” By Courtney R. Moore As I watched the plans being implemented, and the sets being painted, I knew that this theater production was going to be extraordinary, even as the practices were a little chaotic and fun. The only problem with the whole situation was, this British-based play coming in 2-3 weeks. But, as quoted from Sherlock Holmes: the game’s afoot, right? “Sherlock Holmes and the First Baker Street Irregular” is about a gang of street urchins who team up with the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson to solve crimes. 8th grade illuminates the acting scene with Maleeyah Daggett playing the role of Wiggins, the main Baker Street irregular, while Ruby Mikulski plays the iconic detective Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. John Watson, played by Niko Lawrence. On the most recent of Mondays, I visited to see what the cast’s rehearsals were like: and it started with getting all the set props that were needed for a scene, and always saying the iconic line, focus is what? Essential! Then it was announcements and scenes; In addition to this, a background of what to expect when you see this performance: there will be magnifying glasses, bowler hat, and possibly a goose (I have no idea why).
