ACCESSIBLITY

TUTS offers a variety of accessibility services to our guests. To find out more, visit our Accessibility page.

Attire

For many patrons, attending a TUTS show is a special occasion, but formal wear is not required. Attire generally varies from business casual to cocktail dresses and suits. Above all, we want you to feel comfortable.

Box Office

The box office is located just inside the front of the Hobby Center. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 713-558-8887 for assistance by phone.

Camera and Recorders

The use of cameras and audio recording equipment inside of the theatre is strictly prohibited. Photos are permitted in the lobby areas.

Cell Phones and Other ELectronic Devices

Please turn off all cell phones and other electronic devices before the performance begins.

Children

Children of all ages are welcome with a purchased ticket. Booster seats may be rented in the Grand Lobby of the Hobby Center. Theatrical performances are reflective of the period in which they were written and the period in which they are performed. Appropriateness of a performance for any specific audience member is a very subjective matter and therefore, we cannot make a recommendation on age or content appropriateness that will apply to everyone. There is always the possibility young or more sensitive audience members might find material to not be suitable for their viewing. To assist in your understanding of this show, please refer to the Study Guide on each show page.

“Lap Seats,” or free tickets for small children who wish to watch the show from an adults lap, are not available for our shows. Every individual who enters the theatre must have a purchased ticket.

Ticket Brokers

The resale of event tickets in Texas is legal. You may well find event tickets on sale at ticket brokers. Though brokers are never the primary sales point, they access tickets by purchasing them in the same way as the consumer. Please keep in mind, when you buy from a broker:

• We cannot be responsible for tickets purchased through unauthorized third parties.
• We cannot replace your tickets if they are lost or stolen.
• We cannot exchange your tickets into other performances.
• We cannot issue a refund to you in case of an event cancellation.
• We cannot guarantee that your tickets are valid and therefore, cannot guarantee admittance.
• You may be paying much more than the ticket’s face value.
• We cannot contact you with information regarding time changes, show cancellations or other information.

Help us serve you in the best manner possible. Purchase your tickets directly from Theatre Under The Stars or the Hobby Center Box Office. 

Ushers

If you experience any discomfort during a performance, an usher or our house manager will be glad to assist you.

Weather

With rare exceptions, all performances will take place as scheduled, regardless of weather conditions.
