Theater at Monmouth's 56th season will continue with Kate Hamill's Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson - Apt. 2B. An Irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous sleuth and sidekick. It's a Modern-day Baker Street where the manic, razor-sharp genius Holmes, and recuperating American divorcée Watson, tumble from caper to caper. But when the quasi-dysfunctional, female Odd-Couple, mystery solving duo come face to face with a villain who has all the answers and is always one step ahead, uproarious adventure, high-stake hijinks, and non-stop laughter are imminent. Crack the case Thursday, July 17th at 7:30 p.m. through Friday, August 22nd including matinee and evening performances both weekdays and weekends.

Baldwin* as Ms. Joan Watson, James Noel Hoban* as Lestrade/Elliot Munk/Others, Amber McNew* as Ms. Sherlock Holmes, Ethan Shaw as Pizza Boy/Additional Voices/Understudy, and Jazmin Wilkins as Irene Adler/Mrs. Hudson/Others.
