Summer Heats Up at Cape May Stage with the New Jersey Professional Premiere of "Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B"

originally published: 07/12/2024

(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- Cape May Stage presents the New Jersey professional premiere of Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B, a fast-paced, comedic, and modern reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous sleuth and sidekick. Written by award-winning playwright Kate Hamill, this lively production is set to open on July 17th and runs through August 25, 2024, with shows Tuesday through Sunday nights at 8:00pm.

Directed by Roy Steinberg, Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B explores the dynamic partnership of a new Holmes and Watson as they navigate a series of exhilarating adventures. This quasi-dysfunctional odd couple emerges from a pandemic fog to face a cunning supervillain, promising non-stop laughs and hijinks galore. Audiences of all ages will embark on a thrilling ride filled with wit, humor, and excitement.

Featuring professional Equity actors Leah Schwartz, Alexis Bronkovic, Amanda Baxter, and John Patrick Hayden, this play was one of the most produced shows in the country during 2023, and Cape May Stage is proud to bring the New Jersey Professional Premiere to their stage.

“Coming out of the pandemic and welcoming the opportunity to laugh, Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson - Apt. 2B is the perfect tonic for whatever ails you,” says Steinberg. “Cape May Stage delivers a smart and funny twist on the iconic characters.”

Tickets for Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B are now available for purchase online at www.capemaystage.org or by calling the box office at 609-770-8311.
