SUPPORT INNOVATION

The evolution of Alleyway Theatre hinges on professional-level premieres of new productions and the constant maintenance and upgrading of our facilities in downtown Buffalo. Our approach to accessible theatre, functioning like a research and development focus group for playwrights and creatives, is vital for refining works for broader audiences. We invite funders and sponsors to join us in this exciting journey, supporting innovation, community building, and the introduction of new works to the stage.

theatre is a business

Alleyway is part of 1% of theatres nationwide dedicated exclusively to producing new works. The mission and work of Alleyway Theatre thrive on the generous philanthropic giving of individuals who prioritize our organization. Your support enables us to continue our legacy of innovation, engaging theatre in Buffalo and beyond.

Our unique position as a research and development hub for new plays offers sponsors an unparalleled opportunity to be part of theatrical works from local inception to potential national success. Our recent production of THE LIFE AND SLIMES OF MARC SUMMERS successfully transitioned from Alleyway to Off-Broadway, demonstrating our ability to identify and develop high-quality, nationally recognized work.

Moreover, this model of developing new works in Buffalo offers remarkable cost-effectiveness. The Buffalo development of SLIMES cost just one-tenth of its New York City production while maintaining comparable quality. Your sponsorship dollars would go further at Alleyway, supporting high-quality productions at a fraction of the cost of larger urban centers.
