Alert

Storm recovery update for May 17-18, 2024: To protect the public, HPD will assign officers to Downtown intersections where storm damage is greatest, an area roughly from Walker St. to Clay St. and Smith St. to Fannin St. Road closures and limited pedestrian access will remain until the properties and area are deemed safe. Tomorrow, our crews will be back at work at 7 a.m. removing the remainder of shattered glass and treating an estimated 200 downed or damaged trees and landscape. Before traveling into Downtown, please confirm the event has not been cancelled and your planned route has been cleared.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Theater District

From high art to fun and frolic, nine world-class performing arts organizations live here. The curtain rises on the Alley Theatre, Jones Hall, Wortham Theater Center, the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts and the 713 Music Hall at POST Houston. Only five U.S. cities (H’town being one) can boast permanent professional resident companies in each major discipline: ballet, opera, symphony and theater.
