Tamara Siler Will Perform SINNERS & SAINTS at Main Street Theater
The Houston theater veteran will perform Gospel and Broadway favorites at the Rice Village location.
Main Street Theater will kick off the summer with a cabaret show featuring Houston legend Tamara Siler singing songs from Gospel to Broadway. "I'm so excited to be given the opportunity to bring Sinners & Saints to life at Main Street Theater, the place that provided me my first professional role in 1984,” shares Siler. “I was a student at Rice University, and being able to work on a project with Becky (Rebecca Greene Udden) was such a gift to the young artist I was at the time. It's hard to believe 42 years have passed since I first stepped onto the Main Street stage. The songs selected for Sinners & Saints are providing me a chance to relive some of my favorite times on stage over the years at MST and other wonderful theaters around Houston.”
Sinners & Saints opens May 30 and runs through June 13 at MST's Rice Village location, 2540 Times Blvd., 77005. Performances are Thursday – Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 3:00pm plus one 9:30pm performance on June 5. There is no performance June 6. Tickets are $40 - $50.
Pride Night: Friday, June 5. Two shows! 7:30pm and 9:30pm. Drink specials and light bites all night! Free Beer Fridays: every Friday night, thanks to Saint Arnold Brewing Company.
