The Alliance Theatre (AT) was incorporated in 1978 by Artistic Director,
Carol Penney. It is a nonprofit, multicultural, community based theatre,
dedicated to the development of young people in the performing arts.
The company’s mission has always been to offer theater opportunities to
multiracial theater artists and underserved audiences. Alliance Theatre
has been in residence at Dodd’s Theatre at University of New Haven
since 1991. Ms. Penney continues to serve as the company’s Artistic
Director.
The Alliance Children’s Theatre (ACT) is a branch of the Alliance Theatre.
It provides an inter-district theatre program for children ages 8-18. ACT
furnishes theater opportunities in a culturally diversified setting for
students from New Haven County. Young people are at the helm of this
theatre performing as actors, play directors and technical crew. The
company produces five shows annually, which run for ten performances
each. ACT also provides two summer camp programs, serving over 100
New Haven county children. Because of the students’ artistic
involvement in the theatre, the young people develop interpersonal,
intrapersonal and literacy skills.
Alliance Theatre prides itself on being the only theatre of its type in
Connecticut!
