HOUSTON (July 30, 2024) – For one week only, first-timers and longstanding patrons of live performing arts can take advantage of exclusive Buy One, Get One FREE ticket deals, during the third annual Houston Theater Week, August 12-18, 2024.
Houston First Corporation is excited to again spearhead the city’s largest collaboration between 23 professional performing arts groups to increase access to tickets for music, dance and theater enthusiasts. This year’s deals cover more than 230 performances of exciting and diverse live shows.
“We started Houston Theater Week as a way to support our theaters, performing artists and behind-the-scenes professionals post pandemic. Now this week-long promotion has grown into an annual collective effort, which to date has generated more than $1.5 million in ticket sales revenue since its inception for our world-class performing arts organizations and the hundreds of professionals who work in the creative industry,” said Michael Heckman, president & CEO, Houston First Corporation.
“Houston’s annual Theater Week is making a difference for both patrons and our arts organizations. Not only does the revenue generated through ticket sales keep artists and other creative professionals working, it strengthens our already vibrant theater scene and exposes new audiences to a range of cultural performances by some of the best talent in the world at a discount,” said Hillary Hart, Theater District Houston. “We applaud Houston First for leading this effort and we encourage everyone to be adventurous, and try something new this year.”
Consumers can easily shop in one place for a range of shows and performances that take place throughout the 2024-2025 season. Whether it’s the first time or you’re a regular, Theater Week is the best time to take advantage of affordable offers to quality, live performances. From world premieres to holiday classics, there’ssomething for everyone to enjoy.
“A dynamic performing arts community is one of Houston’s strongest assets and is certainly a valuable selling point when marketing our destination. As some performing arts organizations in other parts of the country struggle to stay afloat, Houston is fortunate to have a thriving industry that is vital to the city’s economy. We expect Theater Week to help us keep it that way,” said Heckman.
