The Wortham Theatre Center is constructed on a 'floating' foundation to accommodate Houston's soft soil and prevent structural damage.
The center features the Brown Theater, which seats over 2,400 people, and the more intimate Cullen Theater, which seats around 1,100.
The Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera both call the Wortham Theatre Center their home.
In 2017, the theater suffered significant flood damage, leading to extensive renovations and repairs.
The Wortham Theatre Center is one of several venues in Houston's Theater District, which is the second-largest in the United States by number of seats.
The center is named in honor of Gus S. Wortham, a notable businessman and philanthropist who contributed significantly to the arts in Houston.
