Supporting Houston's Artistic Community

Houston Theater Week was born out of a desire to support the city's theaters, performing artists, and behind-the-scenes professionals in the wake of the pandemic. Michael Heckman, President & CEO of Houston First Corporation, shares, "What began as a post-pandemic support initiative has blossomed into an annual collective effort. Since its inception, it has generated more than $1.5 million in ticket sales revenue, benefiting our world-class performing arts organizations and the multitude of professionals within the creative industry."

Hillary Hart of Theater District Houston adds, "This annual event not only boosts ticket sales revenue, ensuring artists and creative professionals remain employed, but also strengthens our theater scene and introduces new audiences to a range of cultural performances at a discounted rate. We commend Houston First for leading this initiative and encourage everyone to explore something new this year."

A Celebration of Artistic Diversity

The 2024-2025 season promises something for everyone, from groundbreaking world premieres to beloved holiday classics. Discover the magic, adventure, and talent that make Houston's performing arts scene one of the city's greatest assets.

Michael Heckman emphasizes, "A dynamic performing arts community is a cornerstone of Houston's cultural appeal and a key selling point for our destination.
