Audience response can be a good indicator of which holiday shows are hitting the mark. While I found the humor in Know Theatre's Sideways Stories from Wayside School to be a tad forced (you can read my full review here), the theater’s box office phone (513-300-5669) has been ringing steadily, so they've added a performance this weekend on Saturday at 3 p.m., and also on Dec. 27, the final day end of the run.—-
If you want something new to take kids to in the next week, this tale of a topsy-turvy school (it's 30 classrooms are atop one another because of a misreading of the plans for a traditional 30-room school) is family-friendly and full of zany energy. Several performances during the week are already sold out, so don’t just show up — call ahead for tickets (which are just $12) or order them online here.
