Main Street Theater at Chelsea Market553

The winner of our 2008 Parents' Picks quest to find the best day camp for big kids in Houston, Main Street Theater opened its second space at Chelsea Market with a 190-seat theater dedicated to the youth theater program and to large-scale MainStage classics and musicals. (The theater's original, 92-seat venue is in Rice Village.) The youth theater program puts on children's productions for school groups and the general public. A concession stand is open during performances.

MST at Chelsea Market also hosts a Kids On Stage program, which includes performing arts classes, summer camp, and winter camp. The classes are designed for children in grades kindergarten through 5th, while the summer camp includes programs for children ages four to 14, as well as a high school workshop for advanced students.
