expand to view more [+]

Main Street Theater presents the first U. S. production of Tom Stoppard’s trilogy, The Coast of Utopia, since its American premiere at Lincoln Center in 2006. Part one, Voyage, will run at MST – Chelsea Market in January. Part II: Shipwreck and Part III: Salvage will also be presented by Main Street Theater in February and March, 2012.

In conjunction with these productions, Monday, January 23 at 7pm, MST presents a The Coast of Utopia Special Lecture: Stoppard and Chekhov, by Rice University Prof. Terrence Doody. LOCATION: MST - Chelsea Market.

Professor Doody is the author of Confession and Community in the Novel and Among Other Things: A Description of the Novel. He has received NEH and Mellon grants as well as several prestigious teaching awards at Rice. He teaches courses in the modernist period, the novel and narrative theory, and contemporary literature, and he is working on a book on the literature of the city.

“Every writer that I know would like to write a Chekhov play and wonders how they’re done. And nobody’s ever written a Chekhov play – except Chekhov. But it’s fun trying.” –Tom Stoppard

Parking:

Parking at Chelsea Market is easy. There is a large parking lot behind the center. Should that be full, a pass through halfway up on the right will take you to an additional surface lot as well as street parking on Chelsea. The entrance to the parking lot can be found on the north side of the building next to the O'Rourke's Steak House.

Though parking at Chelsea Market is easy, getting there may be a challenge with the construction involved with the Soutwest Freeway Project. MST recommends that you allow plenty of time for detours and unexpected delays, as there is no late seating once the show starts.

Arriving early and planning on lunch or an afternoon treat at a Montrose eatery may solve the traffic blues.
