Review: THE DA VINCI CODE at Alley Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Sep 25, 2025

It’s a marvelously entertaining thriller that audiences are likely to flock to, because it has a sense of awe-inspired fun that you seldom find in the theater. It's high-tech Agatha Christie, and perfect for the Fall.  

Interview: Michael Locher of THE DA VINCI CODE at the Alley Theatre
by Brett Cullum - Sep 22, 2025

To me, this iteration of THE DA VINCI CODE feels like it leans more towards the book in pure content, but at the same time, you can look at the film and our stage adaptation as sort of accomplishing similar tasks.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Alley Theatre
by Jonathan Netek - Nov 19, 2024

Now in its third year under the skillful guidance of new (Remounting) Director Amber D. Gray, this Dickens classic has been freshly adapted by Alley Theatre’s Artistic Director Rob Melrose. A CHRISTMAS CAROL tells the story we all know so well: a miserly old man is visited by four ghosts who reveal the impact of his actions on others and the trajectory of his own life, leading him toward redemption. This adaptation stands out by weaving carols into the narrative as a guiding thread. Sung a cappella by the cast, these songs enhance the show’s festive charm. Some are timeless classics, while others feel rooted in the Victorian period, lending authenticity to the setting. The arrangements, rich with harmonies, are beautifully performed by a small group or the entire ensemble.
