Eighteen-year-old Jamari is fighting an unknown illness that takes him through worlds he’s never seen before, from 1864 Mexico to today’s West Side of Chicago.

Los Angeles premiere of Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson–Apt. 2B 
Two free-spirited women solve mysteries and kick butts in this fast-paced and wildly entertaining comic escapade that offers a cheerful, sassy twist on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective series. When Joan Watson becomes the reluctant roommate of kooky Sherlock (just don’t call her ‘Shirley’) Holmes, she also becomes Holmes’s de facto partner in crime-solving. Together, they stumble out of pandemic-era malaise as a hilariously codependent, endearingly off-kilter “Odd Couple” adventure duo who careen pell-mell from caper to caper… until, eventually, they meet their match in a supervillain who might be even more clever than they are. International City Theatre, Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, 330 E.

If only she can convince Neel to visit the historic Hope Diamond and witness a piece of Indian history for himself, perhaps it will turn their road trip into something more. Artists at Play and Latino Theater Company at The Los Angeles Theatre Center (The LATC), 514 S.

Rachel is her driven young doctor, whose brother Jonathan died in the Trade Center; financier David is Rachel’s adoring ex-fiancé, rejected in the fall-out from Jonathan’s death; Nicolas is the truck-driver who, distracted by the planes overhead, wrecked Krystyna’s car; and Klaus is a hospital volunteer who believes Krystyna is someone he loved long ago in Poland. But even if she survives, is it too late for love? What purpose or meaning remains for any of them? Will Krystyna have their answers?
