Alley Theatre

The Alley Theatre is a theater company with two performance spaces inside a concrete building designed by architect Ulrich Franzen in the center of Houston's Theater District. The building houses various stages with different capacities that support different types of theatrical productions.

The company was founded in 1947 and officially opened its current location in 1949. Since then it has grown into a major force in American regional theater.

The theater has become a center for local talent and theatrical experimentation, where artists present their work with significant artistic boldness. Its productions reflect the creative pulse of the city and attract both established and emerging performers.

The theater offers discounts for groups of ten or more and has reserved areas for people with mobility needs. Visitors can expect modern facilities and clear signage that make navigation easy.

The entrance and facade of the building display characteristic brutalist features with raw concrete and bold geometric forms. This architectural language creates a strong visual presence that stands apart from surrounding structures.
