MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON, APT. 2B Runs Oct. 9-20

MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON, APT. 2B
Human Race Theatre Company
Oct. 9-20
Loft Theatre [Dayton]

Directed by Heather Wilson-Bowlby

This fast-paced romp re-examines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens. In this highly theatrical 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 & Joan Watson join forces. They emerge from the pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional Odd Couple adventure duo—solving mysteries and kicking butts, until they come face-to-face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers.

UC College-Conservatory of Music

Patricia Corbett Theater [University Heights]

Directed by Susan Felder

Blinded by jealousy, King Leontes publicly accuses his wife, Hermione, of an affair with his best friend. He learns of her extraordinary loyalty, but it’s too late — his cruel actions set off an unlikely chain of events that ripple into the next generation. Can Leontes ever be forgiven or redeemed? A passionate drama and a gentle comedy, The Winter’s Tale is one of Shakespeare’s great late romances, full of magic and hope.

Aronoff Center Fifth Third Bank Theater [Downtown]

Recent high school graduate, Howard Crabtree, moves from his hometown in Missouri to New York City to put on shows, sing and dance, make funny costumes, and find other people just like him. He’s gathered some dear friends to help him put on his first show, but things aren’t going as smoothly as they would like. You see, Howard has designed and built the costumes and set, directed and choreographed the show, and is performing in it too! While Howard tries to keep things from falling apart, he can’t help but hear the warnings of his high school guidance counselor, Miss Roundhole, who told him not to pursue theatre, but a more sensible career instead. Will the show and Howard’s dreams work out? When pigs fly!
