Tony Award®-winning Alley Theatre and Artistic Director Rob Melrose announces the Resident Acting Company casting for its 2024-25 Season.
“I’m extremely proud that Alley Theatre has the last remaining full-time, year-round, salaried Resident Acting Company in the country,” shares Alley Theatre Artistic Director Rob Melrose. “Every great period of theatre history was centered on theatres with acting companies: Shakespeare’s company at The Globe, Moliere’s Company at the Comédie-Française, and The Group Theatre here in the U.S. When I was growing up, I was in awe of the resident companies of the Guthrie Theatre and Trinity Rep. In a world where movie stars tend to play themselves in project after project, going to the theatre and watching a company member transform into a completely different character than they played the month before is really magical and lets us wonder at the power of acting. In addition to the talent these actors were born with, they have a wealth of experience to draw from that makes them really, really good. They are experts in their craft and it is always fun to watch experts doing what they do best.”
Alley Theatre’s Resident Acting Company is a cornerstone of the Alley’s artistic identity. Comprised of eight actors, the company brings a unique and vital element to the Alley’s productions. They are not just performers; they are the heart and soul of the Alley. Resident acting companies are exceptionally rare in modern theatre but something the Alley has always prioritized and valued.
The 2024-25 Resident Acting Company includes Elizabeth Bunch, Michelle Elaine, Dylan Godwin, Chris Hutchison, Melissa Molano, David Rainey, Christopher Salazar, and Todd Waite.
