Events on Central

Mr. AfterHours Presents brings a 360° production format to SPACE AT 515, with Amayah headlining and sets from 00.42.00 and Ana M. filling out the night. The 360° setup means...

The performers take audience suggestions and build an entire Shakespearean play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience sits close enough to watch the improvisers' faces when a scene goes sideways, which is half the pleasure. At 45 minutes, it's a tight enough window that...

Hosted by Kopidion, this mod '60s variety show plays in The Box's black-box format, which tends to collapse the distance between performers and audience in ways that bigger stages simply can't.

Three local acts on one bill at Launchpad, the Downtown corridor room that has been the proving ground for Albuquerque rock and punk for decades. Sunday late-night shows here tend...

Tina, a local instructor, leads a two-hour tie-dye workshop at this kava bar and community hangout on the UNM stretch of Central. The $5 bring-your-own or $10 buy-there shirt pricing is about as low as a craft night gets on this block, which makes it a genuine low-stakes Monday out. Kava bars attract a particular...
