When we last saw Buffy she was a in San Francisco, barely out of high school, and still keeping the world safe from vampires and other things that go bump in the night...

But now it's 10 years later and Buffy is a single mom in her 30's trying to put all of that otherworld nonsense behind her.  We all know what happens next, don't we?

Join us as we put The Alley Theater spin on yet other beloved franchise, picking up where the movie, television show, and comic books left off.  And bring it to it's knees: Sunnydale style.

Can U Keanu?

The movie "Point Break" concerns Johnny Utah (played by Keanu Reeves), a former college-football star who is now a FBI agent. Utah is looking for a bank robber, Bodhi Sativa (Patrick Swayze), who is also a surfer, skydiver, adrenaline-addicted Zen master.

"Point Break Live!" is about the same thing but with the attitude than any random person off the street could out act Keanu.  So we pull up an audience member nightly to do just that!   Bank Robberies, Car Chases, Sky Diving, Gunfights, Surfing, and Gary Busey.  This play has it all.. Get caught up in the action in this Alley Theater favorite!

The third installment of our wildly popular, completely farcical adaptation of two classic space opera serials brings Commando Cody and Flash Gordon rocketing back to pick up where the cliff-hanger left you breathless.

If you missed the last installments, don't panic! (sorry, wrong play) There will be a fast paced, hysterical and possibly completely innacurate recap of "Our story so far..." to make sure you're all caught up and rooting for the right people.  Come hang out with the Radar Men From The Moon and Ming the Merciless as only the Alley is willing to present them.

The story follows the basic outline of William Shakespeare's classic work, The Tragedy of Hamlet: Prince of Denmark, but with a very significant twist... What really happened the night Claudius allegedly murdered Hamlet's father, the king? Only ghosts from beyond the grave really know, and the answer is a little sillier than you might expect. Mixing Elizabethan and Modern language and sensibility, Omelet (er, Hamlet) explores universal and existential themes in a way that is both familiar and fresh.

In a late night coffee shop full of vampires, people, and poseurs, Elvis has taken an interest in the human woman, Romaine. In her, he thinks he's found his perfect vampire queen to keep his underlings happy. She's not a man, she's not white, and she's not gay. But she, and the underlings, may have second opinions about this.

Suckers received six nominations in the 2009 Planet Connections Theater Festivity Awards. Pflaster has received numerous awards and nominations worldwide for his plays.

Bits and Pieces is a collection of short plays presented to you in one sitting and includes the following plays:

• To Kill a Zombie by Martin French
  Directed by Jillian Spencer
  Justine and Moll are surivors of the zombie apocalypse. They're dealing with it in different ways. Justine hides. Moll drinks. When the zombies find them, only one thing more infectious than a zombie virus can save them: Tequila. (Not the drink.)

• The Possethsion by Ron Burch
  Directed by Kimby Peterson
  A teenage girl is possessed by a demon from the ninth circle of Hell, and her mom and dad have to decide whom they prefer: the daughter, or the demon.
  Mr. Burch is an LA-based stage and screenwriter whose screen credits include Beverly Hills Chihuahua, Yours, Mine & Ours, and Head Over Hells. His 10-minute play Entranced won the Audience Award at last year's Inhuman:a Festival. His play The Baby was a finalist for the National 10-Minute Play contest at Actors Theatre of Louisville.
• The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe, adapted for the stage by Alex Broun
  Directed by Valerie Hopkins
  Australian playwright Alex Broun and Louisville director/choreographer Valerie Hopkins bring this movement-based adaptation of Poe's classic short story to the stage. A party of revelers discover there is no escape from a plague that threatens to destroy humanity.
  Mr. Broun makes our festival a celebration of international spookiness. A prolific short play writer, 70 of his works have been performed over 600 times in 17 countries.
• Darkness by Ruben Carbajal
  Directed by Todd Zeigler
  A man discovers a monster under his bed and tries to reason with it. But reason won't save him from the surprise it has in store.

A deprived and lovelorn Satan is sick and tired of living in Hell. He bemoans the loss of his angel-wings, his freedom of flight, his elegance, and grace. And he misses God. So he calls a trial, his appeal, to seek re-admittance into Heaven. As the trial moves through space and time, we revisit scenes of humanity's great failures - or are they the work of the Devil, his own wicked crimes? If Satan wins his day in court, he'll be with his Father in Heaven. And if he loses? He'll spend eternity here with us - on Earth.

PLEASE NOTE: This show contains strong language and nudity.

Edward D. Wood Jr...
Writer. Director, Producer. Actor. Film Editor.
Even though he didn't do any of them particularly well, there is another word to add now: Icon.

9 Plans For Ed Wood!, improvised at The Alley, brings the great director to life along with some of his cohorts to give you the answers to many of the questions you never asked.
Questions like

• What if he had done that Bible picture?
• What if he got to make a blockbuster?
• and Surely anyone could have made this shit better than he did?

There will be feeble sets, shoddy costumes and appalling special effects. There should even be some laughs too.

Running for 8 performances (which is 7 more than most of his films got first time out), 9 Plans for Ed Wood! will interrupt your usual Saturday night broadcast.

Sister Elizabeth Donderstock is Squeamish, who makes cheese balls that sustain the existence of her entire religious community, Clusterhaven. However, she feels unappreciated and decides to try her luck in the outside world. Along the way, she meets a Cockney-speaking Ukrainian immigrant couple who find her a job waiting tables at Plymouth Crock, a family restaurant run almost entirely by recovering alcoholics. Things are going great for Liz. Meanwhile, back at Clusterhaven, Liz's compatriots just can't seem to duplicate her cheese ball recipe, and it's going to cost them their quaint, cloistered lifestyle. They are panic-stricken and desperate.  

Will the cheese balls ever taste good again?
Will Liz go back to save the Squeamish?

A young man intends to assasinate the president as his motorcade drives by. He has a man tied to a chair to witness the event in order to attest to his sanity. The window washer helps himself to the booze, and the comely upstairs neighbor decides this is the perfect time to meet. And then it gets strange...
A timely and bitingly satirical black comedy which gives as much pause as laughter in it's antic depiction of a would-be assassin and the odd assortment of visitors who unknowingly intrude on his moment of truth.
