I parked in the Alley Theater Garage and made my way down to the ground floor via the elevator, I ran into Whitney, from Operations for the Alley Theater. She told me all about the theater and showed me around, made me feel like a VIP! I went back stage, I went main stage, saw the smaller stage with an active 'reading' going on, it was a sight to see. I have a curious mind and love exploring, Whitney made me feel like I belonged. There's a whole gigantic hidden world underneath the theater stages. I loved every second of it, she even gave me a free water unasked, that was very nice of her. I loved the impromptu tour of Alley Theater, perhaps someday I will make my way back here to see a show. A lot of work goes into the shows, so many moving parts and people involved. Thank you Whitney! You have a wonderful upbeat positive personality, perfect for theater. I wish Whitney and the theater the best, I'm glad she showed me around, and glad I took a random chance and stopped to ask her questions. It always surprises me the places I end up seeing just by taking a chance and talking to people I don't know. It was awesome.
What a sensational experience!! I had the pleasure of viewing “The Mirror Crack’d” opening night at the Alley Theater. The whole evening was enchanting from start to finish. They offer a few charming beverage bars that offer a variety of wine, liquor, and beers that guest can help themselves to prior to the show and during intermission. They also have plenty of tables and seating areas inside and out to mingle. The outside balcony has breathtaking views of downtown! The auditorium is spacious with every seat providing a spectacular view of the stage. The overall production from the actors to the sound was more than I bargained for! I will definitely be returning, so if you have not treated yourself to an evening out- I highly suggest The Alley Theatre. 🎭
I absolutely love Christmas Carol last December. The original actor apparently couldn't do the Scrooge roll & the understudy did a fabulous job. Ghost Of Christmas Future was the coolest & huge. I wanna go see it again this Christmas. I love this theater & I've already gonna see 2 more plays there. Highly recommend 👌.
Went here 6 years ago on our third date…now many years later enjoying another show!! Beautiful place. Lovely performance!
We attended A Christmas Carol at the Alley. This was my husband's first time, but my second. It was Christmas time and the Libby was decorated and full of Christmas trees. Each tree was unique. The production was delightful! The cast is very talented. We had so much fun. I don't think that there is a bad seat in the house. The way that the seating is situated everyone gets a good view. You can Google the seat locations and get a review of each seat location! We sat off center, about half way up, stage right and had a great view. If you haven't seen this production or haven't been to the theater, this is a great place to start. The theater staff is friendly and so helpful! Plan to go, it's a wonderful experience.
