Houston Theater District Open House

Once a year the Houston Theater District hosts an Open House. This is the first year that I have purchased tickets on site but every year there are special rates for the day at several of the Theaters. I ended up with some discounted tickets to Alley (performing out of UH because of construction) to Dracula and a Christmas Carol. I was very impressed with the performance of Christmas Carol so these are going to make a great gift. SPA always has at least a few interesting previews and this year was no exception. The «Inventor» from an upcoming show «The Illusionists» had some fun up-​close magic for one little girl and another fun bit about chainsawing an assistant in half. This year the usual door prizes and scavenger hunts were not seen but I was lucky enough in the past to win some awesome prizes. Next year I will take advantage of the free backstage tour of Alley. Admission is free but if you are not savvy about DT parking you’ll likely have to shell out 8 bucks to park underground.
