Alley Theatre

The Alley Theatre is the grand dame of Houston theaters. Easily the most visible theater in the city, the downtown institution offers new plays and classics alike in two facilities: the 824-seat Hubbard Stage and the 310-seat Neuhaus Stage. It's one of the country's few theaters to support an entire company -actors, designers and craftspeople - full-time, throughout the year. Even those who don't go for theater have likely seen a production at the Alley - and they've likely enjoyed it, as well.

  • Swathed in Buttercream, The Cake Balances Religious Rights With Same Sex Marriage
    Workshopped last year at the Alley All New Festival, Bekah Brunstetter's warm, somewhat fragrant The Cake is certifiably ripped-from-today's-headlines. How timely is it? So prescient that its impact is already muted. On Monday, June 4, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in favor of a Christian Colorado baker who refused...

  • Houston Theaters Go All Christmas — and Not — for This Year's Holiday Productions
    Our Houston theaters celebrate the holiday season as if everyone expects a foot of snow. There are religious-themed plays, secular put-downs, lots of Dickens, snow-encrusted musicals, and then there are shows that have nothing whatever to do with Santa, elves, or fruit cake, just plain old entertainment for the shopping...

  • Murder Map Houston: The Locations of Infamous Local Murders
    Houston makes national news all the time.

Here are four Houston murders that made news and, in three cases,...

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Alley Theatre Fails to Charm
    The set up: Two years ago, Ira Glass, host of the beloved and popular public radio show “This American Life”, sent the Internet into a tailspin and flung the arts community into a horrified, head shaking tempest. The offense? Glass, after seeing a production of King Lear starring John Lithgow,...
