Reilly as Sherlock Holmes and Robert J. Gaudio as Dr. Watson. This episode also marks the final installments in our ongoing adaptation of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We started working through these stories back in November of 2018 with ‘The Adventure of the Speckled Band.’ It’s quite fulfilling to reach the end…of this book anyway.” “In the fall,” Fernbaugh said, “Cloak & Dagger On the Air will begin presenting adaptations of the second collection of Holmes stories, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.” This month’s cast includes Sheila Cavalette, who is making her first appearance on Cloak & Dagger On the Air, Rob DeSantis, Bethany Fernbaugh, Pete Fernbaugh, Robert J.

Reilly, and Savannah Schroll Guz, with a score arranged and performed by classical pianist Roberta Fedoush. Also featured on the show will be an original sketch titled Emily Penelope’s Fabulous Flights of Fancy, written by Fernbaugh and starring one of the troupe’s youngest members, Abby Perry. The sketch is modeled after the daily 15-minute children’s programs from the Golden Age of Radio. Top of WV CVB is located at 3539 Main Street in Weirton, W.Va.
