EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
 The
vision of the Hobby Center is grounded in the philosophy of serving the
entire community and reflecting the contemporary spirit that is so unique
to Houston. The mission is not only to bring world-class entertainment and innovative
works to current arts lovers, but perhaps more importantly, to inspire
the next generation of performers and patrons. This outreach effort is part of
the Hobby Center’s identity. Zilkha Hall was always intended to be the
home for small to mid-size arts groups looking to expand their audiences and a
place where families could bring their children for cost-effective, meaningful
educational programs.
The
Hobby Center is fulfilling its mission through dynamic community partnerships -
a successful affiliation with the Houston Independent School District (HISD), as
well as collaborations with Stages Repertory Theatre’s EarlyStages and our Uniquely
Houston® groups. Thus far, thousands of
schoolchildren have been introduced to the magic of live entertainment - music,
theatre and dance - many for the first time.

your students to the performing arts? Please contact Mark Powell, UniquelyHouston Program Director at (713) 315-2413 or email
