hi!
Can you believe it? We're celebrating our 45th season this year ... and I promise it's going to be one for the record books.
I hope you'll join us as we kick off the season with WIPEOUT, the hilarious and touching comedy from Aurora Real de Asua. This breakout hit was first produced last season as a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere, and this season is playing the Alleyway and more theatres across the country.
If you're from out of town, haven't been to see a show here in a while, never got off the couch since lockdown ended, or if you're one of our loyal subscribers... I know you're going to love this show and our season.
Stop me and say hi when you're in the lobby! I'd love to meet you.
See you at CURTAIN UP! on September 13 -- the official opening of the WNY theatre season!

about us
Alleyway Theatre is a professional theatre company and collaborative incubator for bold, visceral new theatre. Education & development programs foster the talents of emergent artists from Western New York and beyond ... embracing fearlessness, theatricality, humanity, and authenticity.
Founded in 1980 by Neal Radice, the company currently occupies the 1941 former Greyhound Bus Terminal in Buffalo's historic Theatre District.
As a hub of authentic connectivity, Alleyway is where history meets innovation: a vibrant community of storytellers and theatre-makers energizing the region and challenging the status quo.
It is our responsibility to actively engage our community, launch Alleyway and WNY into the national theatre conversation, and contract artists at the top of their game to infuse the region’s landscape with new ideas and fresh perspectives.
It’s a place where audiences arrive because of its reputation, and leave transformed, inspired to consider their lives and lives of their neighbors in a new light.
