Lady Dither's Ghost

Lady Dither suspects that her house is haunted. She isn't the least bit afraid of the ghosts, but she is sick and tired of the noise they make. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson take charge, blending humor, mystery and music that appeal to both children and adults. In addition, the script exposes children to useful learning concepts—how to be observant, how to use logic to reach conclusions, etc.—in an entertaining fashion. Tuneful sing-along music and clever lyrics add to the charm of the action-packed story. Also, children in the audience may be invited to participate as Baker Street Irregulars, who blow whistles, do a simple march and become involved in a musical chase scene. Two of the Irregulars have speaking parts (one line each) and capture the villain.
