Main Street Theater is now in its 45th Season and has announced a new array of virtual performances for theater lovers of all ages. “We’ve loved being able to connect with people through our MST@Home and Collaboration Classes since the pandemic hit.” Virtual tickets can be purchased online at MainStreetTheater.com.
Main Street Theater announced three different virtual performances from October to December. RFK: A Portrait of Robert F. Kennedy, The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley, and Main Street at the Mic Series are the three performances.
RFK: A Portrait of Robert F. Kennedy is performed by Joel Sandel and directed by Rebecca Greene Udden. Houston’s favorite Joel Sandel reprises the role of Bobby Kennedy in this powerful and timely solo production. RFK takes the audience on an exploration of Kennedy’s professional life and all its highs and lows. “This play is a great reminder of the impact of civic passion combined with eloquence and intelligence,” says Udden. (Virtual performance: Oct 15th- 25th)
The Musical Adventures of Flat Stanley is based on the beloved book Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. Stanley Lambchop is an ordinary boy until his bulletin board falls off the wall and flattens him! Now he can slide under doors, attach postage and mail himself, and even capture thieves — all while learning that heroes come in all shapes and sizes. This show is highly recommended for kindergarten and up. (Virtual performance: Oct 24th- Nov 14th)
Main Street at the Mic Series is performed and filmed on MST’s Rice Village stage, Main Street at the Mic will bring virtual audiences 3 unique, hour-long events that you can stream from home! In October, it’s “Things That Go Bump in the Night” which is about an evening of scary stories to get you in the mood for Halloween. In November, it will be “Cabaret & Cocktails.” It will be a great idea to mix up your favorite cocktail as we bring back our popular cabaret series. In December, it will be “Happy Holidays 2020.”Let’s share some joy as 2020 winds down and we catch up on the holidays! Each event will feature local, professional actors whom you’ve come to know and love. Each Main Street at the Mic will be live-streamed on Thursday at 7:30 pm on YouTube and will be available to stream on-demand through the following Sunday night.
