Main Street Theater presents the English-Language Premiere of Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, based on the novel by Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas-Llosa, a play by Caridad Svich. MST produced Digital World Premiere of Svich's The Book of Magdalene in 2021 and the English-Language Premiere of The House of the Spirits in 2009.
On May 22, the community is invited to join Main Street Theater and TEATRX, a Latinx Theatre Company based in Houston, for a post-discussion about the importance of sharing stories by Latinx artists and showcasing the range of Latinidad in the Latinx community and in MST's production.
From the moment the shovels broke ground on TheatreSquared's new building in 2017, one goal was crystal clear: In addition to being a fulcrum for cutting edge theater, the building would also be a community hub a gathering place for everyone, not just for those seeing a show. The Commons Bar/Cafe offers a cozy place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner or to just grab a cocktail in the main area or on its outside balcony or patio. The sides of the building are flanked by wide, inviting concrete steps, urging passers-by to rest or enjoy a coffee. And the floor-to-ceiling windows allow a bird's eye view of the interior, leading Architecture Magazine to dub T2 "a theater that lures the public inside."
