About us
The Alley was founded over 70 years ago as Houston’s theatre company. It exists to provide audiences with the highest quality theatre, offering a wide variety of work including new plays, classics, the re-discovered and the rarely-performed, and new musical theatre, with an emphasis on new American works – to provide the inspirational and the provocative – to make our audiences think, feel, dream, and be entertained. The Alley Theatre is one of the few American Theatre companies that supports a company of actors, designers, artisans and craftspeople throughout the year. Our productions are built and rehearsed in the Alley Theatre Center for Theatre Production – a 75,000-square-foot facility adjacent to the theatres themselves – that is state-of-the-art and one of the most complete and largest facilities of its kind anywhere. The mission of the Alley Theatre, under the direction of Artistic Director Rob Melrose and Managing Director Dean Gladden, is to deepen the understanding of ourselves, one another, and the world we share by uniting theatre artists and audiences to experience the power of stories that illuminate the breadth and complexities of the human condition.

"We wanted to create a space to emphasize the thrill of a murder mystery, harnessing the power of Hitchcock and film noir. We’ve intentionally chosen materials that allow bodies to be seen in silhouette, distorted, revealed behind seemingly flat surfaces, and the unknown beyond." - Scenic Designer Marcelo Martínez García Read more about the scenic design in our latest blog post!

Ever wondered what illness Tiny Tim had? We asked UTHealth Houston experts their thoughts! UTHealth Houston is the proud presenting sponsor of our production of “A Christmas Carol.”
With his little single crutch and sweet smile, Tiny Tim has been stealing our hearts year after year in “A Christmas Carol,” the quintessential holiday story written by Charles Dickens and published in 1843. Dickens never names the crippling disease that hindered Tiny Tim’s ability to walk and left him weak. Dylan Godwin, who plays Bob Cratchit in Alley Theatre's production of "A Christmas Carol," asks 3 #UTHealthHouston experts to weigh in on what could have been ailing Tim in this classic tale. ❄️ Read more: go.uth.edu/TinyTim

"'It’s never not Christmas here,' quips Mike Floyd, the theater’s head of costumes. That’s because his crew of 20 are already hard at work sewing, stitching, patching, hemming, and detailing as they ready more than 100 costumes for A Christmas Carol, set to open November 17. Baskets overflow with swatches of fabric, shelves are stacked with shoes. Needles and thread abound." Thank you Holly Beretto for touring our costume shop and talking to our Costume Director, Mike Floyd, about all that goes into making our costumes for A CHRISTMAS CAROL!
Here's How All the Costumes for Houston's Christmas Shows Get Made
