arts & culture Stages Inc.

In 2014 ... Stages Repertory Theatre purchased our home of 30 years from the City of Houston. As new owners of our performance venue, the Board and staff have had the opportunity to think beyond what we originally thought possible in creating high quality theatre experiences for Houston audiences. It’s pushed our organization to begin a comprehensive strategic planning process to really identify what our role is in presenting and supporting theatre in Houston. Owning our home has been a longtime dream of Stages Repertory Theatre. Having this dream come true this past year has provided new confidence and direction for the organization.
