I’m delighted to introduce myself as the Alley Theatre’s new Managing Director! Joining this remarkable organization and this vibrant Houston arts community is both an honor and a homecoming for me.

It feels especially meaningful that my first production at the Alley is A Christmas Carol, a beloved tradition that has brought Houston families and friends together since 1989. Sharing in this annual celebration is a wonderful way to begin my journey here.

The Alley is a place where artistry and community meet, and A Christmas Carol captures that spirit beautifully. From the dedication of our incredible artists, staff, and crew, to the joy it sparks in our audiences, this story embodies the heart of the holidays: generosity, connection, and hope.

I look forward to working alongside our exceptional team and engaging with you as we build an exciting future together!

May your holidays be filled with warmth, joy, and plenty of theatre magic.

Jennifer Bielstein, Managing Director
