University Theatre (UT) Teachers’ Night Out is an opportunity for teachers to learn about the UT 2023-24 season, connect with other educators, give input on upcoming K12 outreach activities, and attend a preview performance of our first production of the year.
Our hope is to share information about the live theatre resources on the UW-Madison campus, learn how those resources might best support the work you are doing in your classrooms, and provide an evening of food, fun, and entertainment.
About Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. #2B
An irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick, this fast-paced romp re-examines the world’s most famous detective 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 & Joan Watson join forces to emerge from 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. Content Advisory: This play contains physical and gun violence, drug use, mature language and content.
