Text Box: The Return of Sherlock Holmes
	Mr. Noah Wainwright has gathered together friends and other “true believers” for an evening with Madame Mariska, a psychic medium.  Madame Mariska does it all: tells your fortune, reads your palm, contacts the dead, takes your money, etc.  She is Noah’s Psychic Advisor.  Assisting Madame Mariska is Sheldon Snerdley.  He’s more of a toady than an assistant.  Sheldon goes about finalizing who will get readings that night, and has the odd feeling that he’s been at this venue before, even though he never has.  A woman calling herself Jackie Smith arrives and asks if she could get a reading from Madame Mariska.  When Sheldon learns how rich Jackie is, he makes certain that she’ll get a reading.  It would seem Madame Mariska prefers wealthy customers more than poor ones.  Jackie and Sheldon share some more déjà vu and feel like they’ve met before, but can’t explain it.
	Madame Mariska makes her grand entrance and begins her evening.  But something is off.  She and other people keep getting chills.  Strange things start occurring, and suddenly someone dies a violent death.  The next thing you know, the spirits of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have taken over two of the people there.  Were they pulled from the spirit world to solve the mysterious death that just happened, and is that death linked to a murder they tried to solve at this very location 100 years ago?!	
	Due to slight sexual humor, this show is rated PG.  Gunshots are fired.  Audience participation includes a man-hungry friend of Noah Wainwright, a married couple who are regulars of Madame Mariska, a former client of Madame Mariska’s, a crazy homeless man and the spirit of a woman from 100 years ago.  Group participation includes the audience chanting.
