Sideways Stories from Wayside School

A play adapted from Louis Sachar's Wayside School Novels
Adaptation by John Olive

May 6 - 22, 2011
RLT Gaddy-Goodwin Teaching Theatre (General Admission Seating)

There was a bit of an error made in the construction of Wayside School. Instead of making thirty classrooms side by side, it was built one classroom on top of another, thirty stories high…except for the 19th floor which seems to have been forgotten. Strange encounters and skewed adventures challenge the students: Mrs. Gorf - the meanest teacher in the history of Wayside School, Ms. Jewls' possessed blackboard, pigtails that talk, a lunch-money-stealing principal, ghosts in the mashed potatoes, and the ethereal Miss Zarves who may or may not reside on the mysterious missing 19th floor.

Director: Linda O'Day Young

Ticket information

Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the RLT Box Office at 919-821-3111.

Ticket prices:

Teens/Adults: $13
Children: $9

Note: A child is ages 0-12.

Note for parents: Age Recommendation: 5 years and up. This play is an adaptation of the strange stories with quirky and at times scary characters from Louis Sachar’s Wayside Series. This production relies heavily on the use of sound (organ music, thunder and lightning) and bold lighting. The play, though amusingly strange to most, may be a little frightening to younger children. This is a good choice for the elementary school level, a fun treat for everyone who is able to sit and give attentive listening in an audience. (Age recommendations are offered simply as a guide to assist parents in selecting theatre experiences for their children. Parents know their children best!)

All seats are general admission.
