Queensbury Theatre and the Tribble School for the Performing Arts invite you to join us for an evening where the grass is greener, the drinks are flowing, and the giving is growing!
Introducing the Somewhere That's Green Gala! Inspired by our upcoming 2027 Main Stage production of Little Shop of Horrors, this year's gala promises a night of botanical beauty, Broadway magic, and a little bit of deliciously devious fun.
They say the grass is always greener on the other side, but at Queensbury, we're growing something extraordinary right here at home. From professional Main Stage productions to transformative arts education at the Tribble School for the Performing Arts, we're cultivating creativity, nurturing emerging talent, and giving Houston's artists a place to bloom.
And while green may be the color of money, it's also the color of growth, opportunity, and the future we're planting together. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Queensbury Theatre relies on the generosity of our community to help keep the arts thriving. Your tax-deductible contributions help fund more than 25% of our programming, ensuring that the next generation of artists has room to grow and the Houston theatre community continues to flourish.
This is one night you won't want to leaf behind! Expect spectacular performances from The Music Box Theater, Tribble School for the Performing Arts, and a sneak peek of our upcoming Summer Main Stage production of Little Shop of Horrors.
Enjoy fabulous food, wickedly good drinks, and unforgettable live and silent auctions.
It's an evening of entertainment, generosity, and just the right amount of monster plant mischief.
So put on your green garden-party glamour, channel your inner Audrey, and get ready to help us grow something wonderful. Whether you're a budding philanthropist, a seasoned supporter, or simply looking for a night of fabulous entertainment,
there's a place for you in our garden.
All proceeds directly support Queensbury Theatre's mission of "Telling the Story" and empowering the next generation of artists. Together, we're planting the seeds for a brighter, greener, and more vibrant future for the performing arts in Houston.
After all, the grass isn't greener because of the money. It's greener because we grow it together. And at Queensbury, we're growing something worth feeding!
