Sachar Succor

The campiness of the Coterie Theater's adaption of Louis Sachar's Sideways Stories From Wayside School delighted me. Ostensibly a production for children, it was loaded with adult humor. Popular Kansas City actor Ron Megee was hysterical in his five roles. I'm so relieved that I didn't view this promotional video for the show until after I attended. It captures none of the production's Pee-wee's Playhouse-style chaos. You'll have to take my word for it; the final performance was yesterday.
