Indian Valley Theatre Dinner Tickets for 'Postmortem' on Sale
IVT dinner theater performance of "Postmortem" set for Feb. 22-24
IVT is busy preparing for its annual dinner theater next month. This year they are excited to be presenting Ken Ludwig’s murder-mystery "Postmortem."
In IVT's Dinner Theatre production of "Postmortem" the cast of William Gillette’s latest Broadway revival of "Sherlock Holmes" has assembled for a weekend of relaxation at his magnificent medieval castle on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River.
Sherlock Holmes, featuring William Gillette, made its Broadway debut at the Garrick Theater on Nov. 6, 1899. It was an instant success. Gillette applied all his dazzling special effects over the massive audience. In his lifetime, Gillette presented Sherlock Holmes approximately 1,300 times (third in the historical stage-record), before American and English audiences.
