Had the delightful pleasure of seeing The Squirrel Nut Zippers perform in this sweet little theater in November. Built in 1929 and remodeled in 1935, it sits in the historic Houston Heights. It is an intimate venue for world class performances. Parking is on the street, and if you're early enough, you might get a spot right in front of the theater. There are eateries nearby; and, galleries and boutiques for window gazing before the show starts.

I love this theatre. So intimate and the acoustics are great. Wonderful experience and within walking distance to eateries and shops.

As a native Houstonian, I’m embarrassed to say this was my first time here. I attended the Gin Blossoms concert last night and was so glad I did. Beautiful historic venue. Great acoustics. Seating in balcony for a higher price, as well as early entry for VIP’s with signed posters from the band plus a practice session with the band- the best part! Steve, the head honcho, has a gruff exterior but was actually very nice. Trevor was fantastically helpful as was Justin. Doors did not open at 5 as advertised but 5:30 or so, VIP’s ($134 per ticket) were allowed entry. At 6, the rest of the folks were admitted into lobby. At 7, General Admission ($34) were admitted in to theater. Back up band started at 8 and Gin Blossoms at 9. They played for an hour and a half with a 2 song encore. There are a few highly coveted tall barstools at the back near the sound engineers/boards. The rest is SRO. $12 wine at bar but it was a nice Sauv Blanc and it is the Heights, so to be expected. Parking is limited so arrive early and check out the cool shops on 19th! Old school etiquette here, listen to the music, be civil, don’t block people’s view or try to weasel in front of folks who’ve been standing for two hours when you arrive at 9.

Amateur hour here. I bought tickets to a show. An hour before the show. "Sorry, here is a refund. We didn't mean to list these for sale on our website." Was halfway there.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What are the mask and social distancing regulations for your upcoming Marty Stuart show on August 28th?

Everett Gorel | Nov 4, 2021
Phil Koltko | Nov 4, 2021

The last show I was at, which was a couple of weeks ago, there was no mask or social distancing enforcement. That being said, almost everyone attending was masked at all times. People kept somewhat apart in the lobby but were sitting basically shoulder to shoulder in the concert area.

Is the concert saturday still happening?

Cheryl Schindler | Nov 4, 2020
Zac Hughs | Nov 4, 2020

I don't know from what I've heard a lot of things are being cancelled or postponed I would contact the theater itself and check with them

So who is performing there tonight, Friday, 11/23. I have purchased 4 tickets for The Band of Heathens and your website now says Matt the Electrician is there. Please advise what is up asap!

David Fisher | Nov 5, 2019
Andrew Grizzle | Nov 5, 2019

Looks like both, pal. Matt's opening for Band of Heathens. Opener starts at 8, I'd bet BOH goes on at 9.

Shelley Schneider | Nov 5, 2018
Jake Campbell | Nov 5, 2018

Parking only on the street, no lot.

Travis | Nov 5, 2018
Carlos Hauenstein | Nov 5, 2018

The venue can accommodate 125 to 500 guests, depending on the room layout.

Are tickets available for purchase at the theater during the day? I don't want to pay a service fee for online purchase.

Janice Stacy | Nov 5, 2018
Susan Serry | Nov 5, 2018

Advance tickets are purchased through website, or the night of the show, in person, if any are available. Can't avoid the fees, they are part of the cost of the tickets.

Accidentally posted this question in answers 🙁. How early should we get there to get a seat? As in, how long before the doors open?

Janet Long | Nov 5, 2018
Marchell Mascheck | Nov 5, 2018

Definitely depends on the night and your ticket!

Is there seating?

Anne Havard | Nov 5, 2017
Mike Goins | Nov 5, 2017

The tables up front are reserved, the chairs in back of first level and seats upstairs are not assigned. I've been to 2 shows with unassigned seats and it's not the headache I thought it was going to be. I would get there early if you want prime seating
