JUNE 4 - JULY 4, 2021
Two archeologists marvel over a chest of gold artifacts one of them has found. Moral questions about what to do with this gold rise to the surface as troubling questions about the men's criminal pasts are probed to their very depths. Strindberg was highly influenced by the work of Edgar Allen Poe while writing this play, especially Poe's mesmerizing story The Cask of Amontillado (beautifully read by David Rainey in our Chills and Thrills Series).
Additional directors and casting for the remainder of The Alley Theatre's 2020-21 digital season will be announced at a later date.
Past Alley@Home digital projects from the Alley's 2020-21 season can be found at alleytheatre.org/alley-at-home. Patrons can enjoy the Resident Acting Company's creative take on Lewis Caroll's Jabberywocky, listen to their rendition of a famous speech from Shakespeare's Henry V, or be entranced by thrilling classics from our Chills and Thrills series. Discover more about the Alley's Resident Acting Company with Inside the Resident Acting Company Studio, which features Associate Producer & Casting Director Brandon Weinbrenner individually interviewing each member about their lives and careers.
The Alley will feature the Alley All New Early Draft Preview of Shawn Hamilton's Arnett Cobb Project from FEBRUARY 1 - 28, 2021. Via a grant from the Fox Foundation, Alley Resident Acting Company member Shawn Hamilton is writing his first play. His subject is Arnett Cobb, the internationally acclaimed "wild man of the tenor sax," a jazz musician who grew up in Houston and lived in the city for much of his career. View an excerpt and listen to a discussion on Cobb and his legacy with Shawn Hamilton; Cobb's daughter, Lizette Cobb; and Tierney Malone of the Jazz Church of Houston and Houston Jazz Spotlight on KPFT.
The Alley Theatre plans to resume in-person performances for the 2021-22 season, which is the Alley's 75th Anniversary Season. The Alley's 75th Anniversary Season will be announced in Spring 2021.
