It is with profound sadness we are sharing the news our founder, Frank M. Young, has passed away. A visionary in the industry with an insatiable appetite for bringing a community together, Frank M. Young founded Theatre Under The Stars in the summer of 1968 with a production of Bells Are Ringing at Miller Outdoor Theatre; offering Houstonians the opportunity to come together and experience quality musical theatre for free. What Frank created 49 years ago is an integral thread in the fabric of our community and the great tapestry of Houston would not be the same without his Herculean efforts. The entire Theatre Under The Stars family joins our community in grieving this loss and sends our love and thoughts to Frank’s loved ones during this difficult time.
In Memoriam: Frank M. Young
