01What it does

What The Garden Theatre does

Mission

The Garden Theatre's mission is to bring quality, artist-driven storytelling and forward-thinking theatrical experiences to audiences as diverse as the City of Houston.

As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. The Garden Theatre's main reason for existing is to bring high-quality entertainment to the city of Houston through diverse stories and performances. In 2023, we produced 4 full scale productions, which included A Midsummer Night's Dream (a classic Shakespeare play), Steel Magnolias (a contemporary play), Bonnie and Clyde (a contemporary musical), and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged (a contemporary play chronicling Shakespeare's works).

    61% of program spending

  2. Another core value of The Garden Theatre is to pay artists who are considered semi-professional a stipend for their services. Semi-professional is defined as an artist that is certainly talented enough to work professionally, but they need to work a day-job to supplement income because there is not enough artistic work available in the city. We were proud to be able to pay dozens of artists for their work.

  3. In addition to our normal season programming, we were able to add a one night only event, Louder Than Words, which featured 3 local Houston vocalists presenting an evening of music.
