The theatre is funded in part by the city of Houston and the Houston Arts Alliance. The advisory board has also started a $12.5 million capital campaign to fundraise for improvements and renovations to the century-old theatre. This funding will go toward updating the theatre's fixed and hillside seating as well as a new entryway.
