The acclaimed new musical tells the story of Sherlock Holmes and his fellow fictional characters who leap off the page to live out their fantasies when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle suffers an emotional breakdown, coming down to a battle of wits to determine who is really in control – creator or creation? 

The Whimsical World of Sherlock Holmes was an original Read Play Love Musical for kids that was later revised for an adult cast and then selected for the highly competitive Broadway Bound Theatre Festival.  It performed a successful run in Times Square in 2021, where it received rave reviews and 5 Broadway World Nominations, including Best New Off-Broadway Musical.  Now we’re coming full circle and bringing the successful Off-Broadway show back to RPL, where it all began, with our first Teen Show!

Suggested for age 10+ at parent's discretion.  Content includes light romance and innuendo, a character struggling with alcoholism, and very brief tobacco and drug reference

Reserve Your Tickets - Donate What You Can

Ticket revenue from performances of our original musicals has historically been a lifeblood for Read Play Love. In the past, we sold tickets for $10-$12 for adults, and kids’ tickets for about half of that.  But we now take reservations on a donation basis.  This way,  those who are able to donate more can do so, and if any family would find regular ticket prices cost prohibitive, they can donate what they can.   

The donation model more closely reflects what RPL has always been: a heart-centered space that empowers children from all backgrounds to SHINE and do more than they think they can do, and brings families together to create an inclusive culture of love.
 
Read Play Love provides the space – physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially – but our Members and Supporters keep it alive!  And as non-profit organization experiencing unexpected circumstances in the past few years, every single dollar helps us keep our doors open so we can continue doing what we do best!

Read Play Love is a 501(c)3 organization and donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the live performances held?
We are grateful to be hosted by Wylie Acting Group (WAG) for this production!  The address is 205 Industrial Ct #200b, Wylie, TX  75098.  

Where do I enter and park at WAG?
The lobby entrance to WAG is in the back of the building.   We suggest using 208 Industry Court as the destination address – that is the building behind WAG, which will put you in the right location, and you’ll see the white sign with red letters for the WAG entrance. 
​
For parking – you can park in the building behind or in adjacent spots on either side.
**Do not block the bay doors in the 208 building – pay attention to the signs that say “Do not Block” 

Do I need to bring a paper ticket?
Nope, there's nothing you need to keep track of!  Upon receiving your reservation, you will be added to a list with the number of seats your requested.  Simply check in at the box office upon your arrival.

Is there assigned seating?
Seating is general admission, first-come, first-served.  The theatre will open for seating at 5:30.  Doors to the lobby open at 5:00 and you are welcome to arrive early and enjoy concessions (concessions are sold by donation and all proceeds go to the RPL Theatre Program!  Concessions are also available at intermission!)

What if I need to change the number of seats I reserved?
If the number of seats that you need increases, please make an additional reservation on this page.  If it decreases, please contact us with the updated number.  As seating is limited, this will help us open up seats to other families.

How does the livestreaming option work?
You - or your friends, family and RPL supporters - can watch the Saturday/Sundays shows anywhere! (and/or watch the recorded replay!)  All you need is internet access and a Facebook account. Simply reserve your ticket using the "Livestream/Recording" option above.  You will receive access to a private Facebook group to access the livestreamed performance.  The exclusive live video will begin streaming approximately 15 minutes prior to the show's start, and will continue live for the entire show, so you can watch it in real time.  You can also expect some surprises in the livestream, and after the show, you will have unlimited access to the recorded replay afterwards, so don't worry if you can't watch the live performance.  

What is the run-time of the show?
Approximately 2 hours.

Can I really donate any amount?
Yes! Read about our donation policy above.  All donations are tax-deductible and help keep Read Play Love alive! Your Paypal confirmation serves as your receipt for tax purposes; however, we can also provide a printable receipt on letterhead upon request.
