A new performing arts venue that opened in 2020 in Houston might be as unique as its name. The history of the new home of Stages, a producer of performances in H-town, adds an interesting layer to the story of the city’s newest entertainment addition.
The Gordy brings three theaters into one 66,850 square foot campus. The $35 million project, designed by architects at Gensler and Charcoalblue, an international theatre and acoustics design consultancy, was built in a former storage facility for the Museum of Fine Arts. It is named after philanthropists Russell and Glenda Gordy, who donated $5 million to the project.
