Lights Up Gala

Thank You for Joining Us at Lights Up!

Lights Up 2025 was a night to remember! Donor generosity and spirit made this glamorous time-travel adventure truly shine – and together, we raised over $750,000 in support of Theatre Under The Stars.

From the dazzling performances from Broadway’s Jeremy Jordan and our talented TUTS students to the high-energy After-Party with DJ Druw, the evening was electric from start to finish. We’re still glowing from the excitement and the joy of celebrating with our extraordinary community of supporters.

A heartfelt thank-you to our honorary host Margaret Alkek Williams, and to Demetra & Franklin Jones, Greenberg Traurig LLP, and John Tobola & Dolores Cavatore for helping make the night such a success.

If the electric energy of Lights Up 2025 reminded you how unforgettable live theatre can be, you know exactly what TUTS brings to Houston. Don’t let the magic stop here – make a gift today and help us keep our stars shining bright: click here to give now! 

Thank you to everyone who supported the event for lighting up the night with us – and for keeping the future of musical theatre bright. We’re excited to continue creating moments that connect, inspire, and delight, with your support.
