Sideways Stories from Wayside School

Get ready for a wild adventure at Wayside School! This laugh-out-loud play, inspired by Louis Sachar’s beloved book series, takes you to a school like no other. It's thirty stories high... or is it? But don't be fooled, things are far from ordinary! With teachers turning students into apples and even a mysterious cow hiding in the halls, nothing is quite as it seems. Join us for a zany, fun-filled experience where the unexpected is just part of the day at this wacky, wonderful school. Perfect for families, this show promises to keep everyone guessing and giggling!
