Hobby Center to Offer BOGO Tickets for Houston Theater Week 2026

The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts will include 21 shows as part of Houston Theater Week 2026. The fifth annual Houston Theater Week, which offers exclusive discounts for performances in the 2026-2027 season, will kick off Aug. 24-30, 2026.

The week-long promotion was created by Houston First Corporation in collaboration with professional performing arts organizations to raise awareness and generate excitement for Houston's arts community.

This year brings together 21 professional performing arts groups, offering nearly 400 performances and providing consumers with a Buy One, Get One Free offer to some of the best live performances in the city using the code HTW26. Visit TheHobbyCenter.org and HoustonTheaterWeek.com for more information.

During Houston Theater Week, audiences can take advantage of special offers on performances across the Hobby Center's presented programming. Offerings include Beyond Broadway, which brings celebrated Broadway artists to Houston for exclusive concert engagements; Live at the Founders Club, an intimate cabaret-style series featuring acclaimed musicians and storytellers; Houston Is Inspired, a series that champions Houston-based artists and original works; and Sensory Inclusive performances that create a more welcoming performing arts experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities and their families. These programs reflect the Hobby Center's expanding artistic vision, bringing audiences the best of Houston, the country, and the world. 

The initiative helps introduce new audiences to the performing arts while providing greater access to the productions, artists and experiences that make Houston's arts community one of the nation's most dynamic.

Houston Theater Week offers also include performances by the Hobby Center's Houston Arts Partners—local nonprofit arts organizations committed to presenting performances at the Hobby Center each year, reflecting the vibrancy and diversity of Houston's cultural identity.
