Hobby Center
Located in the Houston Theater District of downtown Houston, Texas, the Hobby Center for the
Performing Arts is one of the city’s premier venues for theatre and artistic entertainment. One of the signature features of the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts is its 60-foot-high glass walls. The glass walls of Houston’s Hobby Center provide its guests with an eye-catching view of the city’s skyscrapers. Other features of the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts include a block-long terrace, a mural by America painter Sol LeWitt, an award-winning restaurant and a three-story Grand Lobby. Since opening in 2002, the Hobby Center of Performing Arts Houston has become one of the city’s more popular entertainment complexes.
Houston’s Hobby Center for the Performing Arts consists of two main theaters: Sarofim Hall and Zilkha Hall. Sarofim Hall is a three-tier and 2,650-seat theater specifically designed to host a wide variety of Broadway productions. The gold additions to the architecture of the theater add to the spectacle of the twinkling fiber optic stars that cover the dome ceiling. The Hobby Center’s Zilkha Hall is the smaller of the two theaters with a 500-seat capacity. The hall is primarily used for showcasing exhibitions from the Uniquely Houston program, a series that encourages growth for smaller local performing arts groups. The existence of both these halls have made Houston’s Hobby Center for the Performing Arts a grand spectacle for theatre and musical enthusiasts.
