Broadway Finales and Artisan Markets: Sunday's Best in Houston

Grand Finales on the Houston Stage

Today, Sunday, February 15, 2026, serves as a major milestone for Houston’s theater district as two highly acclaimed productions take their final bows. If you haven't yet experienced the underworld of Hadestown, this is your last opportunity to catch the touring Broadway hit at the Hobby Center’s Sarofim Hall. The show, which intertwines the mythic tales of Orpheus and Eurydice with King Hades and Persephone, concludes its limited run tonight.

Meanwhile, the Alley Theatre is also celebrating a closing night for the vivacious comedy Real Women Have Curves in the Hubbard Theatre. This production has spent the last month celebrating sisterhood and self-acceptance in 1980s East Los Angeles. For those looking for something new, the Alley also continues its run of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play English in the Neuhaus Theatre, offering a poignant look at language and identity through the eyes of students in an Iranian classroom.

Morning Markets and Local Treasures

The early hours of the day offer several opportunities for those looking to shop local and enjoy the fresh February air. Houstonians can head over to the Rice Village Farmers Market, which operates today from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This bi-monthly event features a curated selection of local produce, grass-fed meats, and chef-created meals, perfect for a Sunday brunch or stocking the pantry for the week ahead.

• Valentine’s Market for Makers: Located at POST Houston, this artisan market wraps up its weekend celebration today. It is an ideal spot to find handcrafted jewelry, home decor, and unique gifts from Texas-based creators.
• Lunar New Year at the Depot: Just a short drive south, Galveston’s Own Farmers Market is hosting a special Lunar New Year Celebration from 9:00 AM to noon. Highlights include a traditional lion and dragon dance performance at 10:00 AM.
• Galentine’s Tea Party: For a more intimate morning, the Path of Tea is hosting a themed tea service from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, celebrating friendship with specialty blends and treats.

Public Exhibitions and Artful Afternoons

For those preferring a quiet afternoon of culture, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) remains a top destination with several ongoing exhibitions. Frida: The Making of an Icon continues to draw crowds, providing an in-depth look at the life and legacy of the legendary artist. Additionally, the museum’s Rienzi location is hosting a fascinating exhibition titled Midcentury Menu: Dining in the Atomic Age, which explores how postwar technology and advertising redefined American culinary habits.

Other notable displays include the Maratus: Spiders of Paradise exhibition at Sicardi | Ayers | Bacino, featuring the vibrant world of Australian peacock spiders, and the Project Row Houses installation at the MFAH, which honors the cultural history of Houston’s Third Ward through the works of its founding artists.
