Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B
Single tickets go on sale August 2.
“Hamill’s adaptations of the classics are endlessly ingenious … whatever she decides to do, it will be worth seeing.” –The Wall Street Journal’s Playwright of the Year
Fast-paced and wonderfully farcical, this is the bold, feminist take on the iconic crime-fighting duo that you’ve been awaiting. It’s present-day Baker Street and female roommates Holmes and Watson careen from caper to caper. Eventually, they come face-to-face with a supervillain who seems to have all of the answers. Get ready for a quasi-dysfunctional, “Odd Couple” comedy that packs in non-stop laughs and pulls all the punches!
Developed at PCS’s JAW: New Play Festival, 2021.
“Bloody good … if the classic characters are the heart of Apt 2B, then near-broad comedy is its soul.” –Black Bee Buzz

Current & Upcoming
Photography Exhibit: Angels by Tom Lupton
Tom Lupton's Angels is a photography exhibit inspired by the themes of Rent. As relevant today as it was 26 ago, the story finds us all dealing with a virus confounded by misinformation, civil unrest, and yeah, figuring out how to deal with last year's rent.
Rent
Don’t miss this sensational, iconic musical hot off its 25th Anniversary! Rent took Broadway by storm with its deeply resonant look at a deadly virus, financial precarity, and love as a radical act. As a group of young artists fights for justice and visibility during the AIDS crisis, they revel in the beautiful bonds of friendship and chosen family. With its profound message of joy and hope in the face of uncertainty, this timeless musical reminds us to measure our lives with the only thing that truly matters — love.
