    There’s multidisciplinary and then there’s Performing Arts Houston. The presenting organization is once again set to offer a varied and eclectic lineup of artists for its 2025-2026 season, from speakers like Jane Fonda to music of all sorts, including classical with a comic twist, to dance from across the globe.

    We get a bit of a theatrical breather this month before some of the biggest mysteries, comedies, and musicals of the year arrive in July. But June still brings plenty of new shows for theater and dance lovers as we leap into summer.

Meanwhile, Ensemble gets tapping, the Houston Ballet soars, and musical cabaret fills some of our most intimate venues.
