About

Houston’s Theater District, a 17-block area in the heart of downtown, is home to Houston's nine professional performing arts organizations. Add to the mix the Bayou Place entertainment complex, restaurants, movies, plazas, and parks and it’s no wonder that more than two million people visit the district annually.  With 12,948 seats for live performances and 1,580 movie seats, Houston’s Theater District ranks second in the United States for the number of theater seats in a concentrated downtown area, and is one of only five cities with permanent professional resident companies in each of the major performing arts disciplines: ballet, opera, symphony and theater productions.

The district, with nearly 13,000 seats for live performances, ranks second in the United States for the number of theater seats in a concentrated downtown area, and is one of only five cities with permanent professional resident companies in all of the major performing arts disciplines.

Houston Theater District is the place to buy theater tickets, book an event or sign up for the weekly show updates. The Curtain Call newsletter is distributed each week and provides the latest information on shows and is the place to find the best discount theater tickets.
