One of the great joys – and challenges! – of designing for theatre is the occasional opportunity to tackle a story, setting, or play that feels iconic. Designers are often tasked with introducing audiences to places they’ve never seen before, but sometimes, we’re invited to conjure the eminently familiar. Few settings and stories feel more familiar than Victorian London and A Christmas Carol.

We asked the Alley’s artistic staff why they’re excited for this year’s plays. Here’s what they had to say!

I’m excited to let you know about the triumphant return of the Alley All New Festival.

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.

I’m so excited that for the 30th anniversary of Alley Theatre’s Summer Chills series, we are returning to one of Agatha Christie’s best-loved plays: And Then There Were None.

What better way to kick off our subscription season than welcoming Michelle Elaine, the newest member of our Resident Acting Company?

To celebrate 30 years of Summer Chills, we chatted with the Resident Acting Company performing in AND THEN THERE WERE NONE about what this Houston and Alley staple means to them. Here's what they had to say!

reparations for Summer Chills are in full swing! The Alley's Assistant Charge Scenic Artist, Christie, DeBacker, gives an exclusive first look at the set and designs for And Then There Were None.

Painting the Paneled Wall Mural for John Coyne’s Scenic Design for Jane Eyre was a fun and challenging project that required a unique combination of techniques.

For National Bartenders Day, we spoke with Travis Matthews, our Food & Beverage Manager on his process of creating specialty cocktails for our productions.
