If there is a theater in Houston that everyone knows, this is it. Located downtown in the Theater District, it is by far the fanciest of Houston's considerable offerings. It stands tall and proud, rather like a contemporary castle, and casts an enchanting spell. As an Equity theater, performances are very strong and impressive. The season is planned well in advance, so call ahead for information and buy your tickets early or you might find yourself missing the show. Parking garages are available for a small fee.
• Hours: Box office: 10:30a-6:30p Mon-Sat; curtain times vary.
