Letter
from the CEO A new name and new look. When John T. Jones and a group of community leaders established Society for the Performing Arts in 1966, they wanted to create an organization that would “bring the best to Houston,” ensuring that all Houstonians had the opportunity to see the most accomplished and celebrated artists from around the world, and what a legacy of success they set in motion. Over the past few years, we’ve completed our strategic plan and strengthened our organization, all while navigating this pandemic. Part of that work has been to capture the spirit of our future, which is welcoming all to the performing arts, representing a diversity of art forms and our community.
On April 12th, we dropped the word "Society" from our name and became Performing Arts Houston. Our new name and new look builds on our half-century of history and welcomes all to participate in the arts, to spark their imagination and creativity, a place where we amplify the voice of the artist and celebrate the human spirit. Join me in the theater as we begin the next 50 years,
Meg Booth CEO Performing Arts Houston
