Alley Theatre Charity Profile
The Alley was founded over sixty years ago as Houston’s theatre company. It exists to provide audiences with the highest quality theatre, offering a wide variety of work including new plays, classics, the re-discovered and the rarely-performed, and new musical theatre, with an emphasis on new American works – to provide the inspirational and the provocative – to make our audiences think, feel, dream and be entertained.
The Alley Theatre is one of the few American Theatre companies that supports a company of actors, designers, artisans and craftspeople throughout the year. Our productions are built and rehearsed in the Alley Theatre Center for Theatre Production – a 75,000 square foot facility adjacent to the theatres themselves – that is state-of-the-art and one of the most complete and largest facilities of its kind anywhere.
On our two stages – the 824 seat Hubbard Stage and the 310 seat Neuhaus Stage – we present a wide ranging repertoire of eleven productions each season, including our new production of A Christmas Carol. The Alley is also home to our educational programs, where we connect with the youth of the city and state – our future audience and future artists – through programs such as From Stage to Page, HYPE (Houston Young Playwrights Exchange) and the Young Performers Studio.
Throughout our history, the Alley has earned a national and international reputation for artistic achievement, including the Tony Award, and Alley artists have garnered praise from audiences across the country.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director Gregory Boyd and new Managing Director Dean Gladden, the Alley is committed to moving forward to increase its reach into the community, to further its collaboration with the best theatre artists working today, and to encourage and cultivate the new voices, new work, new artists of the American theatre.
We are proud to be part of Houston and Houston’s refulgent arts scene – one of the most dynamic and diverse anywhere. And we are grateful for our subscribers and loyal supporters – many of whom have been with us for years, and many of whom are just joining the Alley and discovering its vitality and excitement.
The Alley knows that theatre is a powerful and transformative experience and we look forward to sharing it with you – every time you become part of the Alley Theatre audience.
Mission: The chief aims of the Alley, under the direction of Artistic Director Gregory Boyd and Managing Director Dean Gladden, are:
to present a wide range of plays, embracing classic, new and neglected plays,
to produce these plays to the highest standards, and
to serve the widest audience.
