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!

Executive Artistic Director
Alleyway is proud to partner with National Theatre Live to bring you the best theatre from around the world to our big screen. Come get a popcorn and enjoy the ride.
Frankenstein
★★★★
‘The most viscerally exciting and stunning show in town.’
Daily Telegraph
Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC’s Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
Captured live on stage in 2011, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.
See it twice!
See Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature on Sunday October 13.
