Back Alley Productions, like most performing arts venues, shut its doors in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 1984 will be our first show since shutting down.

In George Orwell’s nightmarish world of “1984,” Winston Smith struggles in an alternative reality where the all-powerful Big Brother government controls the populace with an ever watchful eye. Defying a ban on individual thinking, and dissatisfied with keeping the status quo, Winston begins to express his own personal thoughts in a diary. Then he pursues love with another human named Julia.
In the world of Big Brother, these actions are seen as dangerous and criminal. And they don’t go unnoticed. And soon Winston must face a choice: either he conforms to the collective and shirks individual feeling and thought… or face the deadly consequences.
