Support Your Local Theaters
February 02 2022
Houston is home to one of the most vibrant arts scenes in the United States. From opera to hard rock concerts and experimental art to Monet, we have it all - right at your fingertips. One of perhaps the lesser known gems found around the Houston area are our smaller local theaters. If you haven't had the opportunity to see a performance at one of these local venues, consider a date night or evening with friends to experience homegrown creativity.
