Auditions: Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson, Apt 2B

An irreverent, darkly comic modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous sleuth and sidekick, "Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson, Apt 2B" is a fast-paced romp that re-examines the world's most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens.

In this highly theatrical, small cast escapade, oddball female roommates Sherlock (yes, it's also a girl's name - wait, is it a girl's name? Is it even a name?) Holmes and Joan Watson join forces to emerge from pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple adventure duo - solving mysteries and kicking butts, at least until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers.

Cookie Repp is directing. We are looking for both men and women as cast members (30-50 years old), along with costume assistance and a stage manager. Rehearsal is planned for March 30 from 6 to 8 pm with rehearsals to begin the following week (Tues-Thurs) and performances over two weekends in late May.
