September 5-20, 2026

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!
