The Alley has been awarded the Tony Award® for Outstanding Regional Theatre, the Pulitzer Prize for one of its premieres, and the Texas Medal of Arts Award. The Alley has transferred its productions to major European Festivals, Broadway, Off-Broadway, and to 40 American cities.
Unique among regional theatres, the Alley is committed to maintaining a full-time Resident Acting Company. Nationally recognized directors, actors, playwrights, and designers from across the country have regularly joined the Resident Acting Company in the Alley’s downtown 75,000 square-foot Center for Theatre Production to rehearse and create sets, props, and costumes for each play.
The Theatre traditionally engages 249,000 people throughout the Greater Houston community each year through a dynamic season of reimagined classics and new work, and a robust series of education and community engagement programs performed at Alley’s 774-seat Hubbard Theatre, 296-seat Neuhaus Theatre and in the community.
The Alley continues to expand and strengthen its reputation as a leader in the national theatre movement. Alley All New Festival for new plays is a recognized national leader in the field and its world premiere plays have been produced across the country from New York to Los Angeles.
