Water for Elephants

Water for Elephants

Jan 27 - Feb 1, 2026

After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age.

Our Road home

Our Road Home

Jan 30, 2026

Our Road Home is an interactive rhythmic production created and directed by native Houston artist Jakari Sherman. Through layered rhythmic storytelling – spoken, rapped, preached, and sung – the work honors the communal labor and ingenuity that built spaces of freedom across time. The body is the central instrument of music and movement in Our Road Home, affirming that the power to create and preserve freedom resides within us. The percussive tradition of stepping, as well as drumming and vocal textures combine to highlight the agency of those who claimed their autonomy.

Hadestown

Hadestown

Feb 10 - Feb 15, 2026

HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
