Hello HGO Family,
We hope that you are all staying healthy and finding ways to care for yourself during this time. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to rapidly evolve in our city, heeding the precautions put in place by our local officials remains of paramount importance. We will get through this together.
Although we are still mourning the cancellation of our mainstage productions and events, our incredible team is working hard to produce a unique alternative season that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home! For our loyal patrons, you will have priority access to the alternative season, ahead of the public. A full schedule of this digital content, and information on how to access it, will be available at the beginning of August 2020.
We will continue to say it–thank you! Thank you for your constant encouragement and consideration of our organization. This has been a very difficult year, and we still have much more to face, but with your continued support we can get through anything. We look forward to the day we will once again reunite at the Wortham Theater. Until then, stay safe.
Sincerely,
| Patrick Summers Artistic and Music Director Margaret Alkek Williams Chair | Perryn Leech Managing Director Sarah and Ernest Butler Chair |
