    Main Street Theater presents the World Premiere of Woof By Y York. Directed by Troy Scheid. At MAIN STREET THEATER – RICE VILLAGE, running September 15 – October 9, 2011 (Previews Sept. 10, 11 and 14).

    L J Freeman - beloved quarterback for the current Super Bowl champs, “American hero,” husband to a beautiful woman, father to 2 young children – has made a really terrible, really stupid mistake. His senseless crime was caught on a security video which is now all over the media; his football career is over; his family is falling apart – and his 9 year old has seen what her daddy did.

    A drama by Y York that examines with dark humor the very raw, honest story of one man watching his world crumble around him and discerning what he must do to move forward.

    Post-show Discussion with the Playwright
    Following the performance on Friday, Sept. 16 there will be a discussion with playwright Y York about the play and her work. Main Street Theater also presented the world premiere of Ms. York’s …and L.A. Is Burning in 2008.

    Troy Scheid directs Woof. Ms. Scheid also directed MST’s 2008 world premiere of Y York’s …and L.A. Is Burning. The cast includes Timothy Eric (…and L.A. Is Burning, Intimate Apparel) as L.J. Freeman, Eva Laporte as Karen Freeman, Alice Gatling (Caroline, or Change, Intimate Apparel) as Ruby Freeman, Maya Wilson as Jackie Freeman, Brian Thornton as Mel Tudor, and Joyce Anastasia Murray as Mrs. Jones.

    Recommended for mature audiences due to profanity and adult situations.

    Parking: Parking in the Village can be difficult, especially for Sunday Matinees. MST recommends that you arrive at least 20 minutes early to allow time to park and get to the theater. Remember, there is no late seating once the show starts.

    Limited off street parking is available directly in front of the Rice Village Theater, and there is street parking all through out the village. Parallel parking can also be found on the east side of Kirby.

    When the weather is nice, you might chose to park in the Village parking garage. The closest entrance can be found at Kelvin and Amherst, one block east and one block south of the Theater. There may be a nominal fee, but parking is free should you choose to dine at one of the Village Arcade eateries before the show.

    We do ask that you be respectful of our neighbors and not park in any off street parking that is in front of open businesses. What's more, because of the nature of Village parking, many businesses will enforce towing.

    The best way to beat the parking blues is to come early, find a convenient place near the theater and walk to a Village eatery for dinner or brunch!
