Curtain Calls

The Alley Theatre toasted two plays with opening-night dinners. The world premiere of Suzanne Vega’s Lover, Beloved: An Evening with Carson McCullers was the first production to take the stage in the new Neuhaus Theatre, restored after Hurricane Harvey.

And just a couple weeks later, patrons enjoyed a seated dinner with playwright and director Terry Teachout before the opening of his Satchmo at the Waldorf.
