24 25 Renovation Overview
October 2015 was a defining moment in the history of the Alley Theatre. After 14 months of demolition and construction, the completely redesigned and renovated Alley Theatre opened to a welcoming audience. We were back home!
The Alley Theatre is now the most advanced facility of any regional theatre in the country. Commitment to the art and the audience experience drove this renovation. The new Hubbard Theatre now provides an intimacy between actor and audience that is unmatched. The production capabilities are tremendous with a fully "The Alley Theatre is now the trapped stage and computer automated line sets in the new six-story fly loft. The technical improvements are too numerous to list, but combined have transformed most advanced facility the Alley into the premier theatre in the United States. in America." The entire patron experience has been transformed at the new Alley Theatre. The brighter more open public spaces, the new Zilkha Skyline Lobby featuring one of the best views of downtown Houston, doubling the capacity of the restrooms, and the new classroom/event spaces on the Margaret Alkek Williams Terrace Level (fourth floor), are amenities that greatly enhance the patron experience.
Our goal was to create a 21st century theatre while preserving the iconic Ulich Franzen designed Alley Theatre as a landmark in downtown Houston. This was made possible thanks to the work of Pete Ed Garrett, principal of Houston-based Studio RED Architects. He and his team worked closely with the Alley to create a theatre that best serves artists and audience. The Alley staff along with Studio RED Architects and W. S. Bellows Construction Corporation worked hand-in-hand to ensure that the entire project was brought in on time and on budget.
The Alley Theatre, our patrons and the Houston community itself owe a deep debt of gratitude to Meredith Long and Roger Plank who co-chaired the Extended Engagement Capital Campaign and raised the funds to make this long-held dream a reality. Their vision and commitment was unwavering.
