I love Dickens “Christmas Carol” and have enjoyed the Alley production for many years. My first time to see this production and what a surprise! It was a combination of tradition and energizing new components - both in production and scripting. The diversity of performers, the tidbits of humor, the intensity of the ghosts yet appropriate for young audiences. Watching the audience - they laughed, applauded the highlights and intently listened to the narration. We thought it was fabulous. Change can be challenging for those who value tradition - but this production reflects the diversity of Houston and it matters.

Such a fun time! I went to alley theater to see Clue with my mother. It was actually for an assignment for a theater class I took at UH. Really nice set up, views from the balcony, and atmosphere!! PS Everyone dressed differently, though everyone was leaning more formal than not. Some were business casual with jeans, others were business formal.

We came to see Dial M for Murder at the Alley, and it was a fantastic show. This is a small, intimate theater, not a bad seat in the house really. The acting was excellent as always, lots of twists and turns to the show, with some great special effects - they even made it rain inside the theater. They're doing an Agatha Christie play later in the summer; we look forward to seeing that one too. You can grab a drink and light snacks at intermission, and there's a beautiful view of downtown from their outdoor balcony. Credit card only as they don't accept cash. Paid parking is available in an underground garage across the street. I love that this is a resident theater with such a strong company of actors and has been operating since the 1940s. For us, the Summer Chills series are always lots of fun, and we'll continue to come back year after year.
