SUPPORT THE NEXT CHAPTER OF STATION THEATER!
HOUSTON’S
HOME FOR COMEDY ARTS, CONNECTION, AND CREATIVITY
For more than a decade, Station Theater has been Houston’s home for long form improv and sketch comedy. From our scrappy beginnings on Houston Avenue to our current space at Sawyer Yards in Arts District Houston, we’ve welcomed thousands of students, performers, and audience members to laugh, learn, and grow through the power of comedy.
NOW, IT’S TIME FOR OUR NEXT CHAPTER AND WE NEED YOUR HELP TO BUILD IT.

WHAT WE DO
Since 2012, Station Theater has empowered people from all walks of life to embrace bold self-expression, creative risk-taking, and collaborative joy. Our training programs include long form improv (Levels 1–5), sketch comedy writing, production, and directing. Whether you're stepping onstage for the first time, taking a class to improve public speaking, or just looking to laugh and make new friends, Station is a space for community and courage.
Each week, we bring to life:

OUR STORY: FROM SETBACKS TO COMEBACK
In March 2020, we shut our doors due to COVID, like so many
others. The pandemic forced the cancellation of classes, shows,
and events. Overnight, we lost 100% of our income. Then what followed was two break-ins
(including the theft of computer equipment, toilet
paper, cleaning products, and an inflatable alien),
cancellations of planned re-openings due to
new COVID variants and surges, and, just as we were starting to
recover, the sale of our building and the loss of our
longtime home in early 2022. We moved into two separate studio classrooms across different buildings without a theater to call our own. From March through July 2022, we had no stage, no shows, and no central home - just our people, our passion, and a commitment to keep moving forward. | ![]() |
In July 2022, we reopened performances in a temporary venue
with no stage, no classroom, and just 40 seats, which was
less than half our previous capacity. Still, we found a way to keep
the laughter going.
With the support of our community, we kept our mission alive. We built connection in a time of isolation, made space for joy, and created a home for laughter, creativity, and belonging - even when we didn’t have a home of our own.
Now, we’re finally ready for what’s next: A permanent space with room to perform, teach, and grow.
This is the final step in a long journey. We have a new home. Help us cross the finish line.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP!
![]() | We now have the
opportunity to move into a new permanent home in a creative
community space in the 5th Ward Cultural Arts District at 2000
Nance Street. This space unites our theater and classrooms,
restores our performance capacity, and allows us to grow. We’re raising $15,000 to help transform a raw venue into a vibrant creative hub. Your support will go directly toward:
