Rec Room Arts

When Houstonia Magazine decried “Not Your Grandma’s Theatre Space: The Rec Room Brings Emerging Arts, Collaborative Energy to Downtown Houston,” they perfectly described the mission of Rec Room Arts. We are a professional non-profit organization dedicated to developing innovative work by emerging and established artists across disciplines in order to energize a new generation of audiences for the arts. The quality of the work and the size of our space is the sort of storefront theatre you’d find in Brooklyn or Chicago, unheard of here in Houston. While other small theater companies do innovative work, Rec Room Arts is the only company doing such work in a dedicated venue. In the heart of Downtown Houston, 100 Jackson Street is where much of the Houston arts community calls home.

People near and far come to us for epic stories in our small space, stories told through theatre, music, dance, opera, comedy, and performance art. Rather than having to go to the Alley, Catastrophic Theatre, Houston Ballet, and HGO, audience members can visit Rec Room and experience high-caliber, multidisciplinary live performance under one roof that is happening nowhere else in Houston.
