September 14th - November 5th
From the award-winning mastermind of mayhem, Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor), comes a fast-paced comedy about everyone’s favorite detective solving his most notorious case.

Content Guide
Baskerville has no nudity, profanity, or any strong adult content. Were it a movie, it would likely be rated PG.
Galen Schlomming as Watson & Matt Koenig as Holmes
This loving send-up lets the audience in on the joke from the beginning, breaking the fourth wall to hilarious effect over and over.
"Baskerville is another stellar production in a long string of compelling Cabaret crowd-pleasers — a howling good time!"
In “Baskerville,” Ken Ludwig’s hilarious pastiche of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” the game is afoot in a fast-paced, supremely satisfying and entertaining production at Oregon Cabaret Theatre that defies the limits of time and stage space.
This fast-paced mystery is a fun fall diversion and worth a trip to Ashland to enjoy.
On the prowl for a laugh-filled evening of rollicking mystery? The solution is easy. Join Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson in Baskerville.
The cute theatre in a previous church was intimate and well done. We loved our seat by the rail in the balcony. We opted to have dinner and we were so glad we did. It was probably the best meal we had in Ashland. We both had the steelhead. Salad through bread pudding dessert was outstanding. Straight forward food without the need to sauce or garlic.
The play was fun and well done! Those actors work so hard playing multiple characters! We would return.
@oregoncabaret 's "Baskerville" is done so well. I was truly blown away how many characters each actor was able to take on so authentically!

We loved "Baskerville, A Sherlock Holmes Mystery" at the @OregonCabaret. Talented cast, clever set, deft staging, and both drama & comedy,
This place is the place to go if you like cabaret,as a special night out. Make sure that you will have either brunch or dinner,the food in this place will put some restaurants to shame. The food come out hot and cooked to order,also they only have beer and wine license and they can make cocktails with great imagination.
