Alley Theatre

And Carlotta writes that she played the famous soap opera character, Ma Perkins.

She was at Houston's Alley Theater in the early 70s.

Only very much later did this then-teenage playgoer learn of her radio fame.

I hadn't been aware of classic radio growing up.

Definitely.

I had seen Cyrano at the Alley Theater years ago, and this was definitely of that caliber.

And the Alley is one of the best regional theaters in the country.

I just say I don't mind at all that we missed the first act because all the stuff that I remember and love about Cyrano, we saw.

And I was an actor.

I got to work at some wonderful theaters, the Huntington in Boston, the Alley Theater.

And I moved from there into nonprofit management and wanted to combine those two worlds.

You know, some of that is decisions you make at the time, and some of it is just things that come your way, and you say yes to them, and you see where it takes you.
