Highrise Tower Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I was looking at the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated May 13, 1959 and came across an usual location for the Alley Theater. Back in 1959 the Alley Theatre was located at 709 Berry St. in Midtown. Now playing thru May 30 on stage Tennessee Williams Orpheus Descending directed by Nine Yance. There also used to be a Alley Theater Academy which is very cool to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 This was the second location of the Alley. They moved there in 1949 from the original location at 3617 Main, and remained there for nineteen years until the current facility opened in 1968. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATH Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The original brick sidewalk for this Alley Theatre location is still there. It's at the Holy Rosary Church's education building, on Berry at Louisiana. Holy Rosary purchased that portion of Berry from the City of Houston a few years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
