Join Ally Theatre Company as we unveil a compelling new play in development, Cradle and All…. This marks the first production under Ally’s new leadership, created by a collaborative team including actors, activists, individuals impacted by incarceration, improvisers, and director and playwright, Sisi Reid of Soul Shine Theater Garden.

Experience the journey of a spirited group of young people, each with a loved one behind bars. Through a blend of movement pieces, dialogue, song, and stories, the audience will witness the profound shadow incarceration casts as this group grapples with questions of justice, identity, and hope for the future.

Ally Theatre Company strives to be at the forefront of re-envisioning how theatre is created, who is involved, and what stories are told.
