Many stories begin with Once Upon a Time. But we’re going to start with the Happily Ever After: Society for the Performing Arts has a vision for the future of arts in Houston and we’re making it a reality. After more than a year of collaborating with our board, staff, and community partners, we published a new Strategic Plan in fall 2020.
Building on more than five decades of success in presenting major artists and arts education programs, the plan will be our guide over the next several years. It outlines who we are, where we're going, and how we’ll get there. Who we are is our mission—why we're here and why we do what we do. Our mission drives everything and it's what we always come back to.
OUR MISSION
Society for the Performing Arts connects audiences with exceptional artists through diverse performances and learning experiences. We ignite and cultivate passion for the performing arts and together we explore the vast landscape of artistic expression to discover new understanding about ourselves, create community, inspire dialogue, and enrich our world.
Where we’re going, that Happily Ever After, is our vision— one where SPA is an essential part of our communities, a space where live arts thrive, a Houston cultural leader with programs and initiatives on the scale of dreams.
OUR VISION
We provide the most diverse and relevant performing arts experiences in Houston. We are essential to our community, providing space for audiences from all walks of life to experience connection through the arts. Through equitable representation and opportunity, we support and amplify the voice of the artist to create positive social, cultural, and economic growth.
How will we get there? Our mission, values and beliefs will be our guide as we write the future of the performing arts in Houston, here at SPA. Our return to the stage for the 21/22 Season is one exciting new chapter. Without giving away any spoilers—many big things are on the way. And we invite you to join us for them all.
