HOUSTON — Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) is calling all artists who want to be part of the 2025/26 Season adventure!
Theatre Under The Stars is on the hunt for incredible singers, dancers, and actors to bring our new season to life. Take center stage in one (or more!) of our four spectacular self-produced musicals: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, Million Dollar Quartet, and Beautiful: The Carole King Story.
As previously announced, for the 2025/26 Season, TUTS is taking its audiences on a whirlwind adventure where words hold power, music shapes history, and dreams defy time. From knightly chaos to rock ‘n’ roll legends, snowy serenades to high-voltage thrills, this season invites you to experience the magic of every era—one unforgettable moment at a time.
“This season our casts, along with our audiences, are getting a lineup of productions that invite them to explore varying worlds — some fiction and some based on real events — and to be part of stories that shape all of us,” said Dan Knechtges, Artistic Director of Theatre Under The Stars.
