We're giving Houston a standing ovation after the 2026 ExxonMobil Theater District Open House! To everyone who joined and helped make the day special: thank you. It was incredible to see visitors of all ages experience performances, workshops, backstage tours and hands-on activities that brought the performing arts to life.

The event was fueled by a shared love of the arts across the district and throughout our partner organizations. We also want to give a sincere thank you to ExxonMobil for once again helping make this free community event possible.

Until next time, Houston. We'll see you during the next act! 🎭

Thank you to our partner organizations for opening your doors and making this year another memorable ExxonMobil Theater District Open House:
