Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d is a mystery rooted in glamour, tragedy, and revenge.

Alley Theatre is making mystery history this summer with the U.S. stage premiere of Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d.

Alley Theatre and Houston Grand Opera’s Butler Studio, one of the nation’s premier training programs for early-career opera performers, have come together this season in a groundbreaking collaboration.

In Alley Theatre’s current production, Director KJ Sanchez chose to reset the piece in Latin America. First, on the shores of Mar del Plata, Argentina. Then, in an Art Deco-style apartment in Montevideo, Uruguay. But what inspired this switch?

A huge congratulations to all our 14 Alley Theatre family members who were nominated for 16 Tony Awards! We are grateful to have such talented artists be a part of our community and celebrate all they have done and continue to do for the Alley.

Every year, one playwright receives a call that changes their life: they’ve won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. But what does that actually mean?

Eboni Booth’s Primary Trust captured the imagination of audiences in New York and around the country, before winning the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2024. It’s a simple story, set in the mundane (fictional) town of Cranberry New York, one of many scenic hamlets tucked against Lake Ontario. But within this quotidian setting, lies the unexpectedly colorful backdrop of Primary Trust: Wally’s, a tiki bar nestled between Cranberry’s restaurants, bars, and banks.
