Standing Ovation Theatre plans to open its doors at 17380 El Camino Real, Houston, in late April and begin shows in May, said Bonnie Reichel, theater manager and board of directors vice president.

Construction is currently ongoing to merge two buildings into one for the future theater.

The theater plans to offer a variety of shows including comedies, dramas and thrillers for all age groups in the Bay Area, Reichel said.

"There will be something for everyone to enjoy," Reichel said.

There will also be event space available for rental at the theater. 281-654-6063. www.standingovationtheatre.org
