Your dollar goes further than just Alleyway. Full professional productions bring a playwright’s dream to life and position their plays with the potential for future licensing opportunities from small towns to Broadway. Each year we explore over 1,500 scripts. This careful curation process ensures a diverse and captivating season for our audiences.

Supplement and Amplify Your Season Subscription

Enhance your theatre-going experience with a donation at any level. Although a season subscription is the best way to experience the full range of new works we offer, your generous donation at any level complements your subscription by directly supporting the creation of these bold productions.
