Program Overview

The Story
We open our play in the office of Cherluck Bones and her assistant Dr. Wattson. Dr. Wattson is worried as he has not seen Bones all week. Then Dr. Wattson receives a message from the notorious Dr. Boyardi (brother of the famous Chef Boyardi). He has taken Cherluck Bones hostage and will only release her if the clever Dr. Wattson can follow a series of clues. After an exhausting journey, and a visit with Monsoon Mason and Dr. Riddle, Wattson learns about natural gas and how it is used. But this has not helped him find Cherluck Bones.
