Houston is home to one of the largest and most diverse theater districts in the country. With plays, musicals, the ballet, opera, symphony and more, there’s something for everyone.
We start the conversation by discussing Houston’s Theater District and the cultural and economic impact on the city, particularly during the holiday season.
