GET BEHIND-THE-SCENES WITH THE ALLEY THEATRE.
This Saturday, March 7, from
11am-3pm, the Alley Theatre is opening their doors
for families to explore during their “Afternoon of Family, Fun and Theatre”.
Families can see a performance of “I, Barbara Jordan”, tour the Alley’s
classroom space, and meet some of the spring and summer Young Performers
Studio (YPS) teachers. Hands-on activities for the kids, balloons, and
refreshments will be available. Starting at noon, life size puppets, face
painting, and theatre games specifically designed for students ages 10 and
up will be the focus of this fun-filled day. During the event,
registrations will be accepted for spring and summer YPS classes. Alley
Theatre's new touring show “I, Barbara Jordan” celebrates the remarkable
life and career of the eminent Texas orator, legislator, and teacher.
Tracing Barbara Jordan's journey from her childhood in Houston's Fifth Ward
neighborhood through her election to the United States Congress, “I, Barbara
Jordan” introduces students to a legendary Texas politician who was a model
for the power of perseverance. The play was written by Celeste
Bedford-Walker and directed by Eileen J. Morris and was commissioned by the
Alley Theatre. The schedule is:
