If Houston’s Alley Theatre’s Longtime Artistic Director “Retired” Why Was He Paid $383,000 Severance?

More than 20 current and former Alley employees have told the Houston Chronicle that Gregory Boyd’s 28-year, Tony-winning tenure at the theater was tainted by abusive behavior, particularly toward young actresses. Boyd, who abruptly retired with two days’ notice on Jan. 11, did not respond to requests for comment.
