The Alley Theatre is one of the oldest and most distinguished regional theatres in the United States, founded in 1947 by Nina Vance in Houston. The company performs in a striking Brutalist building designed by Ulrich Franzen in the heart of Houston's Theater District, operating two stages that sustain a season of classic and contemporary drama.

Order the blackened redfish or the stuffed shrimp. The etouffee is a reliable standard. Budget 90 minutes between dinner and curtain — portions are generous. Every out-of-town performer should eat here within their first week.
The Sunday brunch is when Houston's arts community converges. HGO, Houston Ballet, Alley, and TUTS performers share the dining room. Reserve a week ahead for Sunday.
