About the play

Sherlock Holmes: The Timber Family File is the latest production from the LatinX Theatre Project (LXTP). The first half of this full-length play premiered at the 2024 Arkansas New Play Festival. Over the past year, Sherlock Holmes: The Timber Family File has continued to evolve and had a limited run in April at The Medium in Springdale. This play started as an exploration of the relationship between our community and the larger institutions that overlook us in our quest for justice. We discovered that in times of need, when everything else seems to falter, we tap into our inner Sherlock to uncover the truth. Tell the neighbors, tell the homies, tell the ops, we got a new detective on the block. No bad guys too big, and no case is too small for the homie.

ABOUT THE ensemble

The LatinX Theatre Project (LXTP) advocates for social change by creating ensemble-made, multi-disciplinary performances that uplift and unite under-represented communities throughout Northwest Arkansas. Now in its seventh year, the company began as a group of young folx gathering after school to share writings and perform rhymes to create a space that made them feel heard and seen. Today, LXTP is committed to providing a safe space that allows artists at every stage of their creative journey and BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and/or people with disabilities to speak up, be seen, and celebrated. LatinX Theatre Project full-length plays include Follow Me @TioSam, Scratch That!, Blanket Statements, Crossroads, Arrivals & Salidas, Holy Waters. Digital offerings include Heroes & Monsters, Remedios, Remedios Vol. 2, and afterlife. LXTP's newest works have been featured annually in TheatreSquared's Arkansas New Play Festival since 2017.
