Book Drive:
In celebration of the joys of reading--our portal into the imaginative world of Wayside School--Know Theatre is holding a book drive to benefit: The Peaslee Neighborhood Center and the Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati.

We invite you to bring your gently used or out-grown books to the performance and they will go to good use with these organizations.

About the show:

Written by John Olive, based on the novels by Louis Sachar.

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. Join students Myron, Bebe, Leslie, Rondi and Dameon for a series of strange encounters and skewed adventures.  You’ll enjoy such oddities as Mrs. Gorf – the meanest teacher in the history of Wayside School, Ms. Jewls' magic blackboard, talking pigtails, figures appearing in mashed potatoes, dead rats, and the ethereal Miss Zarves who may or may not reside on the mysterious missing 19th floor. 

This show about surprise, wonder, and discovery demands the audience come along for the ride and flex their imagination muscles to keep up with the bizarre goings on at Wayside School.  John Olive’s adaptation of the series of children’s books by Louis Sachar, cleverly finds ways to bring the magical alternate universe of the books to life on stage.

This family friendly comedy will entertain the child in all of us, making it the perfect holiday outing for the whole family.
