The Watson Diaries :
Written by T.A. Campanella
Directed by Miranda J Bianchi
"The Watson Diaries," written by T.A. Campanella and directed by Miranda J Bianchi, is a modern webseries adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.
The series, published in video-blog format, follows college-psych-undergrad Watson in her miscellaneous misadventures alongside roommate Sherlock Holmes.
Says Artistic Director, Miranda J Bianchi...
"The Watson Diaries is a female-centric, gender-flipped adaption that looks heteronormativity in the face and laughs, loudly. There are addicts and characters struggling with mental health, and people just trying to establish their own identities. There are all kinds of women : smart women, feminine women, bisexual women, straight women, emotional women, women who are unsure of themselves and women who are fiercely confident. And somehow, it manages to not sound preachy. Just good, Sherlockian fun.
We didn't set out to create a thoroughly Millenial, patriarchy-upsetting script, but it happened. And we are so proud."

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
"Sonnet 365" is an ambitious, enthusiastic, slightly daunting, poetic project - just the way we like 'em.
Underground Players is partnering with members of Shakespeare & Company's 2017 Monthlong Intensive to publish digital performances of all 154 of Shakespeare's Sonnets in 365 days. Seven actors will passionately perform, record, and upload sonnets - 22 each! - in a year-long project that endeavors to bring more poetry to our increasingly digital lives.
In the current political and social climate, we can't think of any better way to resist than by doing our part to help flood social media feeds with Shakespeare, and to bring poetry and passion to newsfeeds one sonnet at a time.
