THE RIVER

Since 1996, The River Performing and Visual Arts Center has been a beacon of inclusive arts education in Houston, providing affordable, accessible musical theatre and arts programs for individuals with disabilities and their siblings.

After merging with Theatre Under The Stars (TUTS) in 2010, The River expanded its programs to include opportunities for young adults with disabilities, an inclusive performance troupe that has wowed audiences at high-profile events—including a powerful National Anthem performance at a Houston Texans game—and the chance for students to take the stage in TUTS mainstage productions.

Offering year-round classes in voice, dance, acting, and visual arts, The River continues to empower students with creative expression, confidence, and community engagement. Whether you’re looking for adaptive theatre programs in Houston, inclusive arts education, or an opportunity to shine on stage, The River is where creativity knows no limits!
