About Sideways Stories from Wayside School

Step into the wonderfully wacky world of Sideways Stories from Wayside School, adapted by John Olive from Louis Sachar’s beloved children’s book! When a mysterious builder constructs a 30-story school sideways, each floor becomes home to strange students, quirky teachers, and outrageous adventures. From a teacher who turns kids into apples to a girl who can read minds, nothing is quite what it seems on the 30th floor. This fast-paced, laugh-out-loud play brings to life the absurd charm and clever chaos of Wayside School, making it a perfect theatrical treat for audiences of all ages. Expect surprises, silliness, and a whole lot of heart!
