Due to outside circumstances, the originally planned opening production for this season of Stage East - "Noises Off" - has been indefinitely rescheduled. In its place, we will be putting together a production of "Ms. Holmes and Ms. Watson, Apt 2B" by Kate Hamill, which will be performed at the end of May.
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. Auditions are 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.
