APRIL 29–MAY 15, 2022  |  STUDIO ONE, RIFFE CENTER

Direct from CATCO’s New Works Festival comes a thrilling play by Columbus playwright Chris Leyva. Opera star Irene Adler adventures across the grand cities of Europe, leaving intrigue and scandal in her wake. How did a girl from New Jersey become the woman who outsmarted the brilliant Sherlock Holmes? This contemporary retelling of A Scandal in Bohemia explores the costs of revenge and deftly deconstructs the difference between a person and their persona.

Recommended for ages 13 and up.

COVID-19 UPDATE

Since the pandemic began, CATCO has taken steps to protect the safety of our actors, crew, audiences, volunteers, and staff. With declining cases of COVID-19 in central Ohio and recent changes in safety mandates, we are making the following policy changes for our final show of the 2021-22 Season, Prima Donna.

ENTERING THE RIFFE CENTER

The most direct and easiest route to the theatres on the 4th floor is via the State Street entrance. While the signs say “employee entrance,” the Riffe Center security team will be expecting you. Elevators from the Riffe Center Parking Garage will be operating on Levels G, G1 & G2. If you park on those levels, you should be able to bring the elevator right up to the 4th Floor Theatre level. Alternatively, you may need to walk outside for one block, to access the State St. entrance. Please contact the CAPA Box Office at 614-469-0939 if you need special accommodations for accessibility.

LATE SEATING POLICY

Performances begin promptly at the advertised time. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the House Manager. Please plan to arrive early to navigate parking and vaccination check-in for those 12 and older.
