non-profit musical theatre, was founded in 1968 by Frank
M. Young. Theatre
Under The Stars was the first theatrical organization in
Houston to
perform free to the public at Miller Outdoor Theatre in
Hermann Park, and has
since performed there each summer, giving Houston 43 lavish
musicals
such as South Pacific, Fiddler on the Roof and The Who's
Tommy. Since
its founding, Theatre Under The Stars has produced more
than 240 major
musicals including many local, national and world premieres
and is
currently represented on Broadway with Beauty and the Beast.
TUTS is also
noted for mounting many International tours, including Debbie
Reynolds in
The Unsinkable Molly Brown, Juliet Prowse in Mame, Jesus
Christ
Superstar, Robert Goulet in Man of La Mancha, and the Tony
Award-winning
Carousel, among others. As a way to continue the tradition
of musical
theatre, Theatre Under The Stars' Humphreys School of Musical
Theatre
provides instruction and stage experience for more than
1,700 students
annually. Now housed in the new Hobby Center for the Performing
Arts,
Theatre Under The Stars annually presents the American Musical
