Rebecca Remaly and Stephen Weitz started their theater company seventeen years ago, after moving to Boulder; now they're moving on after this season.
Although the pair will still be involved with BETC's final show of the season, the world premiere of will be the last time the husband-and-wife team appear in the cast or on the production team of a BETC play. And Remaly, the managing director who portrays Watson, and Weitz, the producing artistic director, are relishing this final opportunity to work together on a play for the organization they created.
“Although it wasn't public at the time, when we picked the play, Rebecca and I had already decided that we would be stepping away from the company,” Weitz says. “We knew this would be our last one with BETC and that Rebecca would act in it, and I would direct it.
, there was dinner theater, and not much beyond that,” Remaly recalls. “So we, without very much foresight at all — like, zero — said, ‘Let's start a theater company!’ And here we are, seventeen years later.”in 2018, which is what put theplaywright on their radar. Weitz admires how Hamill’s plays update classic stories for new audiences by putting an interesting, modern twist on characters people might think they know.
Sherlock Holmes and Watson are recast as eccentric roommates on contemporary Baker Street in Hamill's farcical feminist retelling of the detective story. Her action-packed play follows the world's top consulting detective, Sherlock Holmes , and her partner, Dr. Joan Watson , as they investigate crimes and interrogate sexy baddies.
“It's so fresh, and it's such a lovely adaptation/reboot to ignite excitement about these characters,” Davidson says. “If you come with your family, you get a whole gambit of emotions. It has a sense of mystery to it. It has heartfelt moments. It's action-packed.

For Female Founders, Fundraising Only from Female VCs Comes at a CostAccording to recent reports, women-led startups receive less than 3% of all VC investments. In response, many leaders have advocated for getting women more involved in venture financing, since studies have shown that female investors are more likely than their male counterparts to invest in female founders. However, the authors’ new research suggests that support from female investors may actually be a mixed blessing, because it can make it harder for female founders to raise additional rounds of financing. Through an analysis of more than 2,000 venture-backed startups, the authors found that women-led firms whose first round was raised exclusively from female VCs were two times less likely to raise a second round. This is because of an effect known as attribution bias: When people see that a female founder received funding from a male investor, they assume it’s because she is competent and her startup is strong. But if the same founder only has female investors, then people are more likely to assume that her success is due to her gender, rather than her competence. As such, the authors argue that while there are certainly benefits to raising capital from other women, female founders should consider the risks to their long-term success — and do what they can to ensure a more diverse cap table from the start.
