Bob Abelman
Director Neil
Thackaberry finds all the laughs loitering in the script, of which there are
many, and his talented troupe – Stuart Hoffman (as Holmes and others), Frank
Jackman (as Watson) and Jim Fippin (as Sir Henry Baskerville and others) –
deliver them with comedic conviction. But
“Hound” is silly and unsatisfying.

You have to go to Actors’ Summit to see “The Hounds of the Baskervilles”
in the right state of mind. Understand
that this is not a “real” Sherlock Holmes mystery tale. Be prepared to laugh, accept the
outlandish, and groan at the ridiculousness.

With gas prices hitting an all time low, a trip to
Akron to see this show is a real bargain.
If you are looking for an absolutely silly program that is loaded with
laughs, make the trip. There are only
two performances left so hurry.
Kerry Clawson
Three actors are working on overdrive at Actors’ Summit as they portray 14 characters in "Hound of the Baskervilles," a spoof of the Arthur Conan Doyle novel adapted by British authors Steven Canny and John Nicholson.
For audience members who are not well versed in Doyle’s original 1902 Sherlock Holmes story, the first act is bound to be confusing. ... While the play as a whole doesn't reach full-blown slapstick treatment, it does amuse.
