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.
Hamlet
‘Benedict Cumberbatch is a blazing five-star Hamlet’
Daily Telegraph
‘One of the most visually and atmospherically stunning productions I’ve ever seen, of anything, ever.’
Time Out
‘This is a Hamlet for a world on the edge: a warning from history, and a plea for new ideas from a new generation.’
Variety
Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange, Sherlock, The Power of the Dog) plays the title role of Shakespeare' s great tragedy.
As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father's death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.
Filmed live from the Barbican.
Plan a double header on New Year's Day and catch Benedict Cumberbatch in HAMLET followed by Andrew Scott in VANYA!
