Happy Friday!

1. This Comedy-Thriller picks up where the famous stories ended. The Play centers on a death threat against Sherlock Holmes by the supposed son of his late nemesis, Professor Moriarty. Oddly enough, however, Holmes is warned of the plot by Moriarty's daughter, to whom Holmes (who turns out to be quite a ladies man) is strongly attracted. The plot then twists and turns until Holmes finds himself in a dank cellar. The play mixes humor and suspense in equal amounts, leading to a stunning final twist that will surely catch audiences by complete and breath-stopping surprise!! Directed by Christian Carvajal. $18-$24, 8 p.m., 5729 Lakewood Towne Center Blvd Sw, Lakewood, (253) 588-0042

2. Sassparilla could be described as funky, bluesy or modern-old-timey. In other words, this band is great. And they are a little rowdy, which is perfect for playing at McCoy's in Olympia.
