Ring in the season with the Mayor’s Holiday Celebration and Tree Lighting Presented by Reliant on Friday, December 5, 2014 in the heart of downtown Houston. The spectacular event is a holiday tradition of music, Santa, and family fun. A towering Holiday Tree, glowing with energy efficient LED (light-emitting diode) lights, shimmering ornaments and a stunning star topper will light up the streets of downtown Houston this holiday season. The event is free and open to the public. Go to www.houstontx.gov/mayorsholiday.

We are so proud of all of our students that chose to audition for Showstoppers. As usual, it was extremely difficult to narrow down the acts; however, below you will find the solo and small group acts that will be featured in Showstoppers 2015.

Please have a safe and restful Thanksgiving break. We will see you on Monday, December 1st!
