Notable alumni of HSMT include Chandra Wilson (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Kevin Cahoon (“Glow,” “Nurse Jackie”), Stephanie Styles (Kiss Me Kate, Disney’s Newsies), and Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”).

THE RIVER

Founded in 1996, The River provides affordable, accessible arts education to individuals with disabilities and their siblings.

After merging with TUTS in 2010, The River’s classes and opportunities expanded to include programming for young adults, an inclusive performance troupe that has performed at many notable events across the city including performing the National Anthem at a Houston Texans game, and the opportunity for students to perform in the TUTS mainstage productions.
