Brandon Kahn joined Alley Theatre in 2018 as General Manager where he works closely with the Artistic Director and Managing Director in handling the day-to-day operations of the Theatre. uring the mid-2010s, the Alley was completely renovated. However, disaster struck in 2017 when Hurricane Harvey dumped the greatest rainfall event in recorded U.S. history on the Greater Houston area and inundated the theater with 17 feet of floodwater. The floodwaters settled in the theater’s stage area as well as the basement level, ruining nearly 100,000 prop pieces—many of which dated back to the company’s founding—causing nearly $18 million in damages. Furthermore, the theater’s electrical room, which sources and controls power for the entire building, was completely destroyed. Brandon will discuss post-disaster recovery from an owner’s viewpoint.
