"We are so grateful for the opportunity to share our commitment to breaking down barriers to access and inclusivity with the esteemed Houston Texans. Performing the national anthem at the upcoming Kids' Day game is a dream come true for all of our students and teachers. We could not be more proud of them, and are thrilled to have the opportunity to share their talents with our Houston community (and beyond)!" said Hillary Hart, Executive Director of Theatre Under The Stars.
