See the latest performing arts productions and theater happenings opening across Houston from Monday, February 10 to Sunday, February 16, 2025.
I’ve been tracking the Indo-American Association for about a year now, and I am consistently impressed with their programming. So, I’m excited to include their evening of Urdu poetry in this week’s openings.
I’m equally excited for the Founders Club series at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, featuring a husband-and-wife duo singing some great love songs. DaCamera offers a world premiere. And, if my brother lived closer, he’d tell you not to miss the Final Fantasy live orchestra concert.
