The Alley Theatre, founded in 1947 by pioneering educator Nina Vance, is a professional resident theatre company under the direction of Artistic Director Gregory Boyd and Managing Director Dean R. Gladden. It is one of the few American Theatre companies that supports a company of actors, designers, artisans and craftspeople throughout the year. Productions are built and rehearsed in a 75,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, one of the largest of its kind, adjacent to its two-theatre complex in downtown Houston. |
