Have you checked out the new San Jacinto Pond on 8th St and Luella?
A detention pond is a man-made basin designed to help control flooding It helps protect the area in which it is located, as well as downstream areas, by storing stormwater runoff for a limited amount of time and releasing it slowly In addition to flood control, detention ponds help keep some of the contaminants from reaching natural bodies of water Stormwater is a significant source of water pollution in the US Unlike wastewater, stormwater is not treated It all ends up in local waterways like bayous and eventually the ocean Screens placed on the outlet of the pond retain large pieces of trash and debris, while slowly allowing the water to move through and further reduce contaminants

• SHERLOCK HOLMES – (Male 30s – 40s). Highly intelligent, confident, charismatic, quick-witted, obsessive. Thinks very highly of his close friend Watson.

Would like the use of an english accent.

• ACTOR 1 – (Male 20s – 50s) Must show great versatility and nimbleness physically and vocally (including multiple dialects) Plays multiple roles (over 10), including STAPLETON (seemingly geeky butterfly lover who conceals a psychopath within), BARRYMORE (mournful caretaker of Baskerville Hall), MILKER (scrappy Dickensian urchin boy), LUCY (loving wife of WILSON), and DR MORTIMER
• ACTOR 2 – (Male 20s – 50s) Must show great versatility and nimbleness physically and vocally (including multiple dialects) Plays multiple roles, including SIR HUGO BASKERVILLE (a brutal, cruel Cavalier), WILSON (exuberant, hearty head of messenger office), SIR HENRY BASKERVILLE (young Texan relation to Baskervilles, open-hearted, earnest, ready for adventure and to fall in love), and INSPECTOR LESTRADE (cocky police inspector) All ethnicities are strongly encouraged
• ACTRESS 1 – (Female 20s-50s). Must show great versatility and nimbleness physically and vocally (including multiple dialects). Plays multiple roles, including MISS STAPLETON (STAPLETON’s initially secretive, scared “sister” who passionately falls in love with SIR HENRY), CARTWRIGHT (scrappy Dickensian urchin boy), MRS.
