About the ACP
The Alley Cat Players (ACP), the theatre club for students at LASA, is an inclusive and encouraging home for all students who participate in productions both on and off stage. Students in theatre classes participate in a UIL show in the second semester of each year. All other productions are open to all LASA students whether they take theatre as an elective or not. ACP hosts several social events throughout the year, including activities such as attending productions together at other high schools.

Ben Burford
Mr. Burford graduated from Rice University, where he specialized in Shakespearean literature and performance. He first learned to read and write from playing text-based computer role-playing games as a young boy, and his love of all the non-athletic games (video games, role-playing games, and board games) continues to this day. He enjoys finding modern connections in ancient texts and hopes that his students will find their own versions of that joy as well.

Mrs. Baley has been teaching for 25+ years, both at the high school and college level. Prior to coming to LASA, she taught at San Juan Diego Catholic High School, St. Edward's University, UT Austin, Texas State, and UNLV. She has taught everything from Rhetoric and Composition to American History to Shakespeare to Introduction to Acting, as well as all grade levels of high school English. She has a Bachelors and Masters in English from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and an MFA in Performance as Public Practice from the University of Texas at Austin.
When not teaching, Mrs. Baley is probably wandering around her garden, admiring her flowers and talking to the lizards, butterflies, and hummingbirds. She also loves geeking out about everything Disney and Broadway, reading (especially science fiction and fantasy, but really she's not picky), laughing with friends, diamond painting, baking, playing with her tiny fuzzy dog named Annie, talking to (and trying not to embarrass) her two daughters, (lovingly) yelling at her three cats, and watching bad TV with her husband.
