Alley Theatre
The news is out....the School of Theatre and Dance has announced a one-of-a-kind partnership with Alley Theatre. Read the full Houston Chronicle article!
Alley Theatre was founded sixty years ago and has earned a national and international reputation for artistic achievement, including the Tony Award. 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 is one of the few American Theatre companies that supports a company of actors, designers, artisans and craftspeople throughout the year. Their 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 in the nation.
