At Alley Stage, we love new plays. We love the adventure of discovering them for the first time, of working with the playwrights, and we love introducing new works to an eager audience.

And we love our intimate outdoor stage. You will, too. Against a natural backdrop of lime rock cliffs, quarried almost two hundred years ago for the building blocks of some of the first homes built by European settlers in Wisconsin. Poised on a bluff above a historic collection of nine buildings home to the historic Shake Rag Alley Center for the Arts. Convenient for visitors seeking a quick getaway from Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Des Moines and all points in between. Strategically sited in a renowned arts community. 

In June, 2007, Alley Stage, a 120 seat theatre in rustic outdoor environs, presented its first season of original plays and concerts.
