The spotlight was on the city’s most beloved theaters during a trio of standing-ovation-worthy galas. Stages Repertory Theatre’s Starstruck bash, held at The Corinthian, was its most successful ever, raising more than $380,000. ... Guests at TUTS’ One Night Only event came dressed in black-tie attire that pulled inspiration from the musical Dreamgirls. The gala honored “Dream Girl” Margaret Alkek Williams, a longtime patron of the theater. ... The Temptations headlined this year’s groovy, ’70s-inspired Alley Ball, and VIP guests got to meet and greet the band after a dinner of Steak Diane.

As Escape Spa Expands in 2025, Owner Has Advice on Personal Growth: ‘Focus on Intention Setting’

CHANGE IS A good thing, and with the start of a new year, I always like to reflect on how far I've come and start fresh by setting self-care goals for the coming months. Personal growth is a passion for me, and also something I enjoy. Guiding a business through growth and change is also one of my passions, so I am very pleased to announce that Escape Spa is going to be expanding in 2025! We’re honored that we’ve built such a loyal following since opening in Cypress in July of 2022, and we’re thrilled to be in a position to grow our wellness and recovery sanctuary just outside of Houston.
