Board of Directors

We completed our $46.5 million renovation and had the grand Reopening Gala on September 19th. It could not have been more spectacular. A special thank you goes out to Roger Plank and Meredith Long who successfully co-chaired the campaign. The renovation exceeded all of our expectations. I’d also like to recognize Butch Mach who chaired the Facilities Committee and General Manager Ten Eyck Swackhamer for supervising the construction project. They brought the entire renovation in on time and on budget. That is quite an accomplishment, especially when you consider they completed the entire project in just 14 months!

This past year has been a tremendous success. The Alley presented 390 performances including 51 sold-out dates. We increased our budget 21% thanks to the support of our board and individual donors, who contributed more than one million dollars in new and increased donations over the previous year.

With the biggest downturn in oil prices since the 1980s, the Houston energy industry was devastated this past year. This had a negative effect on corporate contributions and the Alley fell one half of one percent shy of balancing its operating budget. Fortunately, the Alley has had nine years of operating surpluses that have accumulated to $1,648,000. The Alley will reduce this accumulated surplus by a modest $98,600 to cover the deficit.

As we look to the future, we want to continue to build on our significant past accomplishments and continue to thrive as a theatre company. In fact, now that we have expanded the capabilities of our physical plant, we expect to increase the scope of our programming and continue to push the artistic boundaries of the Alley. The Houston community can expect to see the Alley continue to break new ground with our Alley All New initiative and our programming in the Hubbard and Neuhaus Theatres.

Dorothy was right – there’s no place

like home! The Alley Theatre is home

again, right where we belong, and we

couldn't be happier!

From the President of the Board of Directors

The Alley has been very disciplined in its approach to long range strategic planning. This extensive planning process has enabled the Alley to renovate the theatre and expand its programming and will guide us through the necessary steps to continue our growth and success.

We do not take this success for granted. The Alley has an outstanding Board of Directors that have guided and supported the growth of the theatre and a talented dedicated group of artists and administrators on the staff. Combine this with our loyal theatre patrons and donors and you have a winning combination that has enabled the theatre to thrive as one of our nation’s great theatre companies for 69 years.

It has been a pleasure to work together with Gregory Boyd, artistic director, and Dean R. Gladden, managing director, over the past three years of my tenure. No one could ask for a better team. Their leadership and vision have been the driving force behind this organization, and they continue to thrill us each time we step into the theatre.

I cannot wait to see what our 70th Season has in store for the Alley. I know it will be a fantastic and inspiring ride.

From the Artistic Director From the Managing Director

The 2015 – 2016 Season was a year of firsts – the inaugural season in our freshly renovated theatre, the launch of our major new works initiative Alley All New, our first live theatre experience outside of the Alley building, Remote Houston – and it has been a game changer for the Alley and the City of Houston.

The opening of the renovated theatre was the culmination of a valiant and audacious journey, and we now have a state-of-the-art facility that will serve the community for generations. We are capable of mounting even larger, more technically complicated, and more visually spectacular shows. With these new possibilities comes an even greater commitment to producing the most thought-provoking, innovative, and inspiring work to be found in the American theatre.

A project as monumental as gutting and renovating an entire professional theatre starts with years of planning and an extremely talented architect. Pete Ed Garrett worked directly with the entire Alley staff to ensure that every detail was well thought out, because we wanted the building to serve the artists in order to better serve the audience. Our design priority was to improve the audience experience in both the front of the house and in the theatre. The Alley now has the Plank Family Greenroom, the expanded bathrooms, the beautiful Zilkha Skyline Lobby, and the expanded 4th floor known as the Margaret Alkek Williams Terrace Level. We wanted the audience experience to be a welcoming and enjoyable one from the moment they walked in the door.

The premiere season in our spectacularly renovated Alley Theatre was an exceptional achievement due to a passionate and continuing effort from Board, Staff, Artists, Donors and Audience members. And it was triumph in terms of a theatre season – introducing new artists, new programs, and new audiences to an Alley that enters the future with an expanded vision of what a 21st century theatre company can be.

The Alley has a facility second to none, and our Artistic and community and educational programming is already reflecting the breadth, diversity and acclaim.

The season began with One Man, Two Guvnors, a showcase for the company artists in this 1960’s era update of Goldoni’s famous farce. This first offering in the new Hubbard Theatre was a exhilarating success, and all of us celebrated the opportunity to return to a re-imagined stage that was happily transformed, and yet still retained its special “Alley-ness” – the quality that made the original space unique.

Alongside One Man… was our stunning production of Sharr White’s The Other Place – an intriguing drama by an exciting playwright making his Alley debut. Sharr’s play was one of ten works in the season that introduced a dozen new American writers to Alley audiences – including Lucas Hnath’s powerful The Christians, which generated some of the most exciting post performance discussions we’ve ever had, and Jennifer Haley’s science-fiction detective tale The Nether – with a stunning design and terrific cast on the Neuhaus stage.

All the Way, Robert Schenkkan’s gripping epic of LBJ’s tumultuous first year as President was an unique collaboration with the Dallas Theatre Center, and after opening here at the Alley, enjoyed a warmly received run at DTC. The production also set records at the box office – soon to be rivaled by our Around the World in 80 Days, which delighted audiences with an adventurous adaptation of Verne’s classic, translated into pure theatre. The chilling Grounded represented the Alley debut of another American writer, the brilliant George Brant, with his tour de force play on both the cost and the price of drone warfare, while Born Yesterday was a splendidly designed and acted valentine to one of the American Theatre’s great comedies, especially lively in an election year.

The inauguration of Alley All New and our first new play festival brought six new works to the theatre – in a hugely busy and exciting Winter. We were thrilled with the response from the audience and the industry to this first festival. Nothing compares to helping create new work for the American theatre, and the enthusiastic audiences were very much part of the process.

The Holiday shows returned to the glittering new theatre with great style and success – and everyone – audience, artists and staff alike, were excited to bring our Summer Chills programming back after a two-season hiatus due to the renovation.

The promise of the new theatre, and what we can achieve, and the broader, bigger audience we can now engage, is a thrilling leap forward for the Alley – and our first season back was just the beginning.

Gregory Boyd

The Alley has a facility second to none, and

our Artistic and community and educational

programming is already reflecting the breadth,

diversity and acclaim.

We wanted the audience experience to be

a welcoming and enjoyable one from the

moment they walked in the door.

Clearly, we must have done something right, because the 2015-2016 subscriptions were up by 37%, the highest subscription revenue ever achieved by the Alley! We also had more than 14,500 new patrons attend productions at the Alley, and All the Way was the 4th highest grossing show in the Alley’s history, selling out 13 performances during the run. Our mission to provide the best theatre experience to our audience has paid off, and we are so grateful to everyone who has joined us.

All our achievements are due to our exceptional Board of Directors under the enthusiastic leadership of President Jesse Marion and Chairman Rob Reedy. Their continued support has made our financial stability and artistic success the envy of the theatre world, and we are in our 10th consecutive year of balanced budgets. Our Board is one of the Alley’s greatest assets, and they make us all very proud.

As we look forward to our 70th Season, I want to extend a special thanks to our hard-working staff and artists who make every day a joy, and who contribute to making the Alley Theatre the best regional theatre in the country.

Remote Houston

An international sensation, Remote Houston, was a participatory, pedestrian-based live art theatrical experience that guided participants to discover Houston. This custom designed experience was an extension of the Remote X project, which has been performed in major cities including Berlin, Moscow, New York and Zurich. Armed with only a set of headphones, a computer generated synthetic voice guided each participant through downtown Houston, allowing them to craft their own interpretation and unique story of the sights, music and surrounding environments they encounter. The Remote Houston journey began at the Evergreen Cemetery. The performance revealed a “secret Houston,” continuing to places normally unseen, places where humans encounter their limits, places where crowds gather, Houston’s underground tunnel system, back alleyways, dark hallways, unseen areas of Houston, and common areas seen through a new lens. The experience concluded at the Alley Theatre.

Alley All New

By Rimini ProtokollConcept, Script and Direction by Stefan KaegiCo-directed by Jörg Karrenbauer

October 2015 was a defining moment in the history of the Alley Theatre. After 14 months of demolition and construction, the completely redesigned and renovated Alley Theatre opened to a welcoming audience. We were back home! The Alley Theatre is now the most advanced facility of any regional theatre in the country. Commitment to the art and the audience experience drove this renovation. The new Hubbard Theatre now provides an intimacy between actor and audience that is unmatched. The production capabilities are tremendous with a fully trapped stage and computer automated line sets in the new six-story fly loft. The technical improvements are too numerous to list, but combined have transformed the Alley into the premier theatre in the United States.

The entire patron experience has been transformed at the new Alley Theatre. The brighter more open public spaces, the new Zilkha Skyline Lobby featuring one of the best views of downtown Houston, doubling the capacity of the restrooms, and the new classroom/event spaces on the Margaret Alkek Williams Terrace Level (fourth floor), are amenities that greatly enhance the patron experience. Our goal was to create a 21st century theatre while preserving the iconic Ulich Franzen designed Alley Theatre as a landmark in downtown Houston. This was made possible thanks to the work of Pete Ed Garrett, principal of Houston-based Studio RED Architects. He and his team worked closely with the Alley to create a theatre that best serves artists and audience. The Alley staff along with Studio RED Architects and W. S. Bellows Construction Corporation worked hand-in-hand to ensure that the entire project was brought in on time and on budget.

The Alley Theatre, our patrons and the Houston community itself owe a deep debt of gratitude to Meredith Long and Roger Plank who co-chaired the Extended Engagement Capital Campaign and raised the funds to make this long-held dream a reality. Their vision and commitment was unwavering.

The Alley Theatre’s Education and Community Engagement Department (ECE) is a national driving force in arts education. Last season, the Alley Theatre provided a record 563,332 educational contact hours to students, educators, and patrons – an increase of 67 percent from the previous season.

Our arts-integration program, Staging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), has grown exponentially. In 2015 – 2016, we implemented 65 residencies at 50 schools across the Houston area, a growth of more than 65 percent.

The Alley was proud to offer two Alley Shows for Kids during the 2015-2016 Season. The Alley remounted Oskar and the Big Bully Battle, which helped 23,370 students at 38 schools understand the multiple perspectives in bullying incidents. Oskar and the Curiously Colorful Clash! returned in the spring and helped 15,761 students to understand and embrace diversity.

AlleyReSourced.com, a digital educational - dramaturgy platform, was expanded from two to six editions, including A Christmas Carol, All the Way and Around the World in 80 Days.

This year, we more-than-doubled contact hours in our 15 partner schools. These in-depth multi-residency partnerships serve public and private middle and high schools across the Houston area. Guided by the Alley Theatre’s Education staff, educators craft an arts education that enhances academic curriculum.

Our popular Slam Poetry Artist-in-Residence Program helped teens tell their stories. The Alley took a giant step forward by partnering with Savannah Blue Arts & Outreach to bring the 5th Annual Bayou City Poetry Grand Slam into the Neuhaus Theatre.

The Alley presented 10 student matinees, each supported by the Education and Community Engagement staff, its own Alley Re-Sourced website, and post-matinee TalkBacks with actors and production staff. As part of the Alley All New Festival, we had a special opportunity to host a free student matinee of Syncing Ink for more than 200 partner school students.

Education & Community Engagement

"We pioneer arts integration, cultivate

the next generation of theatre artists,

and foster community discourse. "

Houston Young Playwrights Exchange (HYPE) cultivates and showcases talented local teen playwrights. This year, 50 students submitted plays. Six young women from varied economic backgrounds were selected to be part of HYPE 2015. The students met for intensive classes with local professional playwrights. Each of the students developed brand-new 10-minute plays. HYPE culminated with workshop performances of the students’ works, directed and performed by working theatre professionals.

Play Makers is a creative drama and playwriting camp for Kindergarten through 8th grade students that integrates science and theatre. Campers rotate through classes in movement, acting, playmaking and crafts.

Alley Conservatory brought together a select group of middle and high school artists to learn about performance through the devised-theatre process. Guiding a diverse group of 30 students through the writing, refining, and production process, Conservatory instructors trained the next generation of theatre artists.

This school year marked a new level of growth in our professional development offerings. Two campuses in Fort Bend ISD participated in faculty-wide arts-integration training. Eighty teachers completed an initial session in which they observed and practiced activities they could implement directly in their classroom.

This year, the Alley started a partnership with VSA Texas to deliver their Opening Minds, Opening Doors program. A series of workshops enabled a group of individuals with both cognitive and physical disabilities to combine storytelling, acting, and public speaking skills. We again partnered with the Kennedy Center’s VSA Playwright Discovery Program to find a creative outlet for students with disabilities.

First Draft – Alley Theatre’s newest arts-integration program aids participants interested in giving voice to their personal narratives. First Draft creates a platform for students to practice life-changing executive functions and master the Eight Studio Habits of Mind to write relevant, impassioned true stories.

In March, the Alley welcomed a unique community partner, The Telling Project, a nationally recognized arts organization dedicated to staging veterans’ stories, to present Telling: Houston. The play allowed seven veterans and one military spouse to share their service experiences with nearly 600 audience members.

At select performances, the Alley offers post-show Artist TalkBacks with the cast and members of the artistic staff. This season included talks with playwright Sharr White (The Other Place); playwright Jennifer Haley (The Nether); and Artistic Directors Gregory Boyd and Kevin Moriarty (Dallas Theatre Center).

Alley In Context, another format of TalkBack, featured panels of experts discussing the themes of a play and how they are reflected in our lives today.

The Alley Theatre is committed to workforce training and development, particularly for young artisans. Over the course of the season, 25 interns worked at the Alley in various departments.

were served by Applied Theatre at the Alley education programs in 2015 – 2016.

It has been an amazing year for the Alley Theatre as we moved back into our building to begin a new era of theatre making in Houston. The community has been overwhelming in its embrace of the new space and crucial to our success as one of the nation’s leading organizations for the performing arts. After raising $1 million more than the previous season, we cannot fully express our gratitude to those whose generous gifts helped the Alley’s artistic endeavors become a reality.

The strong results for the Capital Campaign are a tribute to the leadership of Capital Campaign Co-chairs Roger Plank and Meredith Long. Special thanks are owed to the chairs of our fundraising committees who served with Development Vice President Gregory M. Vesey; Patricia P. Hubbard, Foundations; Larry Campagna, Individuals; Mady Kades, Special Events; and Gina Eandi, Planned Giving . We also would like to recognize the hard work of our event chairs: Stephen Morse and Trey Peacock for Wild Things; Peter Ragauss for Deck the Trees; and, Butch Mach and Trent Tellepsen for the 13th Annual Sporting Clays Shoot. Special thanks go to Dancie Ware who led the volunteer effort for our Peace, Love & Rock n’ Roll Ball.

Individual giving grew by 31% this year in large part due to the Rally for the Alley, and Happy Alley Days campaigns. Nearly half of our budget is supported by fundraising, so the positive response these campaigns garnered was inspiring to say the least.

And, a tremendous thank you to Ford and Molly Hubbard for chairing the Alley’s Re-Opening Celebration Gala. The theatre’s completed renovation was celebrated in elegance, style and with heart. Those who had the pleasure of attending will not soon forget it.
