2021/2022 student matinee season
Alley Theatre is thrilled to be reopening our theatre to live guests this fall! The team has been planning this celebratory return for many months. As we continue to monitor Houston’s COVID-19 cases and vaccinations, please know students and teachers' health and safety are amongst our utmost concerns. We’ll continue to monitor and update our policies, including seating procedures, seating capacities, ticketing options, and safety protocols to match public health guidelines at the time of each production. As such, we will not be confirming our seating capacities or matinee reservations until the start of the fall semester.

By Hilary Bettis

72 miles. It’s the distance between Tucson, Arizona and Nogales, Mexico—and the distance between a recently deported mother and her American-born husband and children. 72 Miles to Go... follows one family over a decade as they grow up, fall in love, fight in wars, and fight for each other. This play by Hilary Bettis (“The Americans”) returns to the Alley following development in the 2019 Alley All New Festival and its world premiere Off-Broadway.
Content Considerations: 72 Miles to Go… contains Language and brief discussions of Sexual Situations as its characters experience the trauma of being separated from a family member.

Charles Dickens’
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Adapted by Doris Baizley
Directed by Brandon Weinbrenner
Hubbard Theatre
A highly inventive adaptation of the Dickens classic pared down to its essential elements. A resident company of actors assemble to perform a new production of the heartwarming Christmas story. When two of the troupe’s actors can’t arrive in time for the performance, others step in to create a magical world of holiday make-believe. It will be A Christmas Carol like no other.

AMERIKIN
By Chisa Hutchinson
Directed by James Black
Neuhaus Theatre
Developed as part of the 2019 Alley All New Festival. Jeff Browning, a new father desperate for community, casually follows his buddy’s advice and tries to join a white supremacist group…but the results of his ancestry test prove surprising. Amerikin follows Jeff as serious consequences come knocking and the line between "us" and "them" gets incredibly blurry.
Content Considerations: Amerikin contains Language, Violence, Sexual Situations, suicide and frank discussions of racism and white supremacy as the author explores divisions within our country.
