The Ensemble Theatre, African American theatre company in Houston, US.
The Ensemble Theatre is a theatre company in Houston housed in a building with three performance spaces. The main stage accommodates about 200 people, while the larger hall seats approximately 500 patrons.
George Hawkins founded the theatre in 1976 as a touring company rehearsing in a church basement. The organization later acquired its own building and became an established venue.
