Just weeks from beginning production on its 2014-2015 Season, Main Street Theater (MST) has learned that it must vacate its Chelsea Market facility on Montrose Boulevard by the end of the summer. MST has continued to rent the Chelsea Market location, in use by the company since 1996, on a month-to-month basis in anticipation of moving into the new Midtown Arts & Theater Center Houston (MATCH) when it is completed in mid-2015. However, the landlord at Chelsea Market has sold off a large portion of the parking lot for development (making parking and access very tight) and has informed MST that its activities can no longer be accommodated.
George Bernard Shaw was profoundly affected by World War I. His first full-length piece following the war was HEARTBREAK HOUSE, which exposes the devastating aspects of the idle and self-indulgent British upper echelon. Main Street Theater is giving Houston audiences heavy social commentary, featuring Shaw's celebrated wit, with their well-executed production of HEARTBREAK HOUSE.
