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 are so excited to announce that our upcoming production of THE JANEIAD received the Edgerton Foundation Award! “I want to thank the Edgerton Foundation for its support of our production of THE JANEIAD by Anna Ziegler. Having this extra week of rehearsal has proved incredibly helpful for the whole team, but especially for Miriam Laube who plays 10 different roles. It has been such a luxury to have this time months before rehearsals to begin to carve out what makes each character different and to start to be able to realize them long before our originally scheduled rehearsals start.” - Artistic Director Rob Melrose
