Alley Theatre

Brutalist 1968 theatre in the downtown Theater District — fortress-like concrete towers and a curved facade, often wrapped in bold production banners.

Creator notes

What works here

The concrete towers read best in raking afternoon light. The Texas Ave elevation gives the full curved facade. Interior shoots require Alley Theatre management coordination.
