Wolf Hall: Parts I and II, based on the novels by Hilary Mantel and adapted for the Stage by Mike Poulton, is making its Regional Premiere, directed by Rebecca Greene Udden, at Main Street Theater (Rice Village, 2540 Times Blvd., Houston, TX) this fall. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

Main Street Theater continues its 2015-2016 Theater for Youth season with Harriet the Spy. Based on Louise Fitzhugh's classic written in 1964, the play tells the story of curious and intelligent Harriet M. Welsch, an 11-year-old determined to become a writer - who gets herself into a fair amount of mischief!  Main Street's production is set in the 70's with super fun costumes and music.

Looking for something a little different this holiday season?  Look no further than Island ETC (East-End Theatre Company) at 2317 Mechanic in Galveston as they present Matthew Leavitt's raucous sex comedy, THE BOOMERANG EFFECT.  

Main Street Theater has added two performances of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: Saturday, Dec. 14 at 10:30am and Saturday, Dec. 21 at 10:30am.

Joseph Kesselring wrote ARSENIC AND OLD LACE in 1939, and the darkly comic play premiered on Broadway on January 10, 1941 at the Fulton Theatre, now named the Helen Hayes Theatre. Brooks Atkinson, theatre critic for The New York Times, famously stated that the play was "so funny that none of us will ever forget it." Eventually, ARSENIC AND OLD LACE moved to the Hudson Theatre, and closed on June 17, 1944, after having played 1,444 performances. The zany, madcap comedy is considered to be Joseph Kesselring's most successful play and is one that still manages to captivate audiences today. A.D. Player's current production of the classic, well directed by Joey Watkins to pop with delightful enthusiasm and energy, proves that the roughly 74-year-old play is as funny as ever.

A. D. Players will open its 47th MainStage season with the classic dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace by Josephy Kesselring, September 6th. The show will preview September 4th and 5th and run through October 6th. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast below!
