| Description | Theatre Under The Stars, one of America's largest producers of 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 Theatre Awards honoring individuals who have contributed significantly to the American musical, as well as the Tommy Tune Awards honoring the best and brightest in Houston's high school musical theatre programs. |
