Alley Theatre has revealed the cast and creative team of Real Women Have Curves. Josefina López’s vivacious comedy follows five Latina women navigating the pressures of body image, immigration, and cultural expectations.

In let.her.rip, Melissa Pritchett tackles one of her boldest roles yet—a fierce, unapologetic woman in a powerful new play by Maggie Lou Rader. She shares what drew her to the script, how Liza came to life in rehearsal, and why this story matters in today’s theatre landscape.

LET.HER.RIP. is the show to see this summer! It will be one we will refer back to again and again. Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, Mary Jane Kelly, and the Matchstick Women would be proud.

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.

Alley Theatre's production of A Christmas Carol is currently running now through December 29, 2024, in the Hubbard Theatre. Check out production photos here!

Watch as Director Brandon Weinbrenner talks about bringing The Nerd to life on stage at Alley Theatre. 'If you just want to go and laugh with your friends, this is the place to do it!' he says on the production.

THE NERD is frankly still THE NERD, and the director, Brandon Weinbrenner, doesn’t reinvent much of anything. There’s nothing new or fresh, and the script is presented almost as if it would have run back in 1981. There is no discernable reason to remount this show save for the idea that it was fun back in the day.
