The Funniest Spot in Town. The Most Heartfelt, Too.
Tucked just off the historic Marietta Square, The Alley Stage is an intimate 100-seat venue redefining what it means to experience live entertainment. Whether you're here for a gut-busting stand-up show, an off-the-wall improv jam, a moving cabaret concert, or a tipsy Shakespeare reading, you're not just in the audience—you’re part of something electric, immersive, and unforgettable.
We believe laughter builds community. Music stirs memory. And storytelling—whether hilarious or heartfelt—brings people together in ways that matter.
A Stage With Soul.
Since opening our doors, The Alley Stage has hosted over 500 performances, welcomed thousands of patrons, and donated more than $200,000 in tickets, rentals, and in-kind support to veterans, first responders, and local nonprofits. We are proud to operate as a for-profit venue that gives back like a nonprofit—because impact shouldn’t be limited by tax status.
Local. Live. Limitless.
We spotlight comedians, musicians, and artists from across the Southeast—elevating fresh voices and seasoned performers alike. Regular programming includes:
- Comedy on the Square – Friday & Saturday professional stand-up showcases
- Improv @ The Alley – Weekly comedy chaos featuring our house team, The Alley Cats
- Open Mic Comedy – Weekly opportunities to see first-timers and seasoned comics try out material
- ShakesBEER – Boozy, irreverent readings of Shakespeare classics
- Cabaret Series – Themed concerts like Tapestry Tunes, A Very Marietta Christmas, and Echoes of an Era
- Comedy for a Cause – Fundraising shows benefiting local missions
Rooted in Marietta. Reverberating Beyond.
The Alley Stage is more than just a venue—it’s a vision. It’s the dream of creating a space where art is accessible, performers are fairly paid, and community is center stage.
We’re Not Just a Stage. We’re Your Night Out.
Whether you're celebrating date night, a birthday, a corporate outing, or just escaping the world for 90 minutes of joy—The Alley Stage is your place to laugh, feel, and belong.
Come catch a show. Stay for the magic.
