Cute and Cuddly?

Bored of the same old china? Take a sip out of these little surprises!
Hand made tea cups that reveal a water-dweller as you drink your Russian Caravan tea.

You can buy these frighteningly fascinating cups on Etsy as a set or individually.
SO adorable!

10 TEN ten 10

The count down is on!

Only TEN DAYS until our competition ends - win yourself a double pass + sack of goon!


AND less then 4 weeks until the actual show, not to mention the hard decision of deciding which other shows to see.



Yikes! April and May and going to be full of sleepless (but exciting) nights!

All Work and (all) no Play...

Can you work while you play? The answer is YES

No joke, we Alleycats achieve this on a daily basis! You may have noticed our Facebook and Twitter going a little mental this evening. Apologies if this interrupted your nights watching of Game of Thrones, 30 Rock or (heaven forbid) any of the numerous C grade reality shows I can't seem to tear my eyes away from!



You were right - we were getting up to no good. BUT we achieved a lot too because tonight was our second reading of the play drafts - and what a reading it was.

We re-met some splendid characters. Some had gone through a transformation for the better or the worse, some rambled with a little more sense, some made us laugh more and others cry more.

I can honestly say, however, that this mixed bag of characters who make up the Alleyway Project experience will not fail to meet you - eye to freaky eye.

Come meet them for yourselves. They don't bite.... usually.

Taking it to the Streets

Anywhere Theatre Festival organised a shoot with the Sunday Mail recently, starring a few festival picks (Alleyway Project included!)

We had so much fun wheeling each other around in trolleys, standing in the door ways of the alley's local businesses and looking legit(imately insane!)

 Wahoo! Look out for the shoot (which also includes 9 other shows for preview!) in U on Sunday in the Sunday Mail :D

AND check out some other shots from the day's shooting madness here!

GUEST BLOG: Marketing 101

Hi there I'm Athalia.


I'm the Alleyway Project's resident marketing lass, and I'm also performing in the project too (my character may surprise you!)

I love working in the arts, and i also love marketing (I'm pretty nerdy!) so I thought I'd share with you 5 basic marketing tips that you can use on any project!

1. Communication: remember everything you do, say, create and share is a message you send out which create/alter perceptions and opinions. 

2. Consistency: above all make sure your branding and any communication is similar and identifiable. McDonalds and Google are great examples of branding consistency :) (check out more from maccas here)




 3.  Targeted: know who your audience is. Everything you send out/create should be designed to attract the attention of a certain group of people -  know what they like, where they hang out, and what they are interested in.

4. Interactive: Try and create/establish platforms for your target market to interact with you - give your their thoughts, feedback and generally get to know the brand/product. The more people contribute the more they feel involved and the more personally invested they will be in following your messages and wanting to understand your product.

5. Believe in your product AND have Fun: There is no reason why you can't always have fun with marketing :) people can tell if your brand/product is something you really believe in so make sure you are invested 100% and others will take an interest also!




I hope you got a little sumthin' sumthin' from this blog post!
