The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion Pays Tribute to the Founder of The Woodlands George P. Mitchell passed away July 26, 2013, at the age of 94. In 1974, he created The Woodlands, a 28,000-acre master-planned community. He was a pioneer and visionary. Mitchell along with his wife, Cynthia Woods Mitchell, had a passion for the arts. Cynthia’s commitment that the arts should be accessible to all helped create a first-class outdoor venue for popular and classical music, opera, dance, and the performing arts. Her dream of this kind of venue became a reality when The Pavilion opened with a starstudded gala weekend in April 1990. The Houston Symphony performed April 27, Frank Sinatra April 28 and Alabama with Clint Black on April 29. In 1992, thanks to a generous gift from the Mitchells to the Houston Symphony’s endowment fund, The Pavilion became the official Summer Home of the Houston Symphony. As a result, The Pavilion presents a series of performances featuring the symphony every season. Due to Mitchell’s support the venue has emerged as one of the premier amphitheaters int the world, hosting internationally acclaimed performing arts organizations including Houston Ballet and Houston Grand Opera as well as major concert tours. Mitchell was very involved with The Pavilion. He loved to visit during the annual Children’s Festival and Musical Scores events. He was instrumental in the rebuilding efforts of the venue after Hurricane Ike damaged the roof in 2008. Mitchell’s donation of $1 million helped open the venue back up bigger and better than ever. A memorial tribute service in Mitchell’s honor was held August 8 at The Pavilion. The Houston Symphony and the Texas A&M Singing Cadets performed and many community members and family members spoke at the service. Mitchell leaves a lasting legacy for his contributions to science, energy and the environment, as well as the arts. He was married to his wife Cynthia for more than 65 years and raised 10 children. He has 23 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
New Food Options at Pavilion Events With the ever-growing health and cost-conscience society, The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion along with ARAMARK Sports & Entertainment and Live Nation, is offering healthier menu items as well as giving concertgoers the option to bring in food at contemporary events. Now available are locally grown produce on top of hamburgers and meat products from suppliers that have been certified under animal welfare programs recognized by The Humane Society of the United States. The produce includes lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Single and double cheeseburgers, Italian sausage, hot dogs, footlong hot dogs and chicken tenders are the items offered as humanely raised and harvested meats served with locally grown produce.
In addition, concertgoers have the option of a vegetarian meal. Currently, guests can purchase veggie burgers. Live Nation is working with Chef Hugh Acheson of “Top Chef” fame, who is developing additional meatless options. For the first time ever, guests are allowed to bring in food at the contemporary events at The Pavilion. Each guest is permitted to bring in a one gallon plastic bag of food for personal consumption. At the venue’s performing arts events, guests also can bring in food, but are not limited to a one gallon plastic bag. No beverages can be brought into the venue at any time. “For the cost-conscience guest, to be able to bring in food at the contemporary events will certainly help their wallets,” said Jerry MacDonald, president and CEO of The Pavilion. “We have been offering this at our performing arts events for many years. It’s great that we can offer the same to our guests at contemporary events.” Another great addition to the venue this year is food trucks at selected shows. You can grab some delicious desserts from Porch Swing Desserts and Gigi Cupcakes or a pizza at Papa John’s or a famous chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A trucks. And beat the heat with $5 draft beer all summer long at the concessions stands.
