The District Open House is a fun-filled afternoon where participants can learn more about Houston's nine major performing arts organizations, including Alley Theatre, Da Camera of Houston, Gexa Energy Broadway at the Hobby Center, Houston Ballet, Houston Grand Opera, Houston Symphony, Society for the Performing Arts, Theatre Under The Stars and Uniquely Houston.

Interactive and informative events include backstage tours, live performances, sneak previews of the 2012-2013 Theater District seasons, performer question and answer sessions, kids' activities, season ticket information booths and a free Houston Symphony concert starting at 4 p.m. at Jones Hall.

A trolley will be available at the venues for guests wishing to ride rather than walk. The family-friendly event will take place in the heart of the Theater District at the Alley Theatre (615 Texas Ave.), Hobby Center for the Performing Arts (800 Bagby), Wortham Theater Center (501 Texas Ave.) and Jones Hall (615 Louisiana Ave.).
