Target demographics: Texas children ages 4 through 15
Direct beneficiaries per year: 75,000 children and families
Geographic areas served: Greater Houston Area and central/east Texas
Programs: This season includes a wonderful array of innovative programs that reflect the rich cultural diversity of Houston. With stories that excite the imagination and raise the spirit, these adaptations of classic tales bring our favorite fictional characters to life in outstanding theatre for children and those who are children at heart. Created and performed by Houston’s finest theatre artists, Express productions teach life lessons by looking at familiar themes in new ways. We strive to honor the curiosity and complexity of young minds and seek to engage and excite them as they learn and participate.
