Main Street Theater Presents SIDEWAYS STORIES FROM WAYSIDE SCHOOL

By:

Main Street Theater Presents SIDEWAYS STORIES FROM WAYSIDE SCHOOL ImageWayside School is sideways. That's how the builder built it. Instead of making thirty classrooms side by side, he built them one on top of the other - which explains why all kinds of crazy things happen there. Join us for high adventure at this wonderful, wacky, mixed-up school!

Recommended for 2nd Grade and up. Children under the age of 3 (including sleeping babies) are not allowed in the theater. 3400 Main St., Houston, TX 77002. Sundays, April 15 & 22, at 12:30pm and 3:30pm, Saturdays, April 28, May 5, 12 & 19, at 11am and 2pm.

Main Street Theater provides theater experiences for all ages. Founded in 1975, our MainStage produces professional, intimate, literary plays for adults and operates under an Actors' Equity Association union contract; our Theater for Youth produces professional, engaging productions based on children's literature for families and school groups, both in-house and on tour around Texas; and we offer Education and Outreach programs on-site and at satellite locations around the Greater Houston area for youth aged 4 - high school. We work out of 2 facilities: our Rice Village home on Times. Blvd., and as part of the MATCH (Midtown Arts & Theater Center Houston) on Main Street.

Main Street Theater is a member of Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national service organization for not-for-profit theaters, of Theatre for Young Audiences/USA (formerly ASSITEJ), the world theatre network of theatre for children and young people, and a founding member of Houston Arts Partners. Main Street Theater is funded in part by grants from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance, and the Texas Commission on the Arts. United Airlines is the official airline of Main Street Theater.
