Cockroach Theatre stages Shakespeare's most reliably weird comedy in The Box Annex, the smaller attached space next to The Box's main room. Cockroach has a track record of doing strange, committed work on a shoestring, so expect this to feel more fever dream than school production. The Annex is an intimate room, which means good...
Calle 66 brings live salsa to Marble's downtown taproom on a Saturday night, which means the patio fills up fast and the indoor bar stays loud. Marble's floor plan isn't purpose-built for dancing, but people make it work near the stage, and the sound carries well enough outside that the patio crowd gets the show...
Noelle Encinias, Andrea Lozano, and Olivia Marin share the floor for an intimate tablao dinner show at Hotel Albuquerque, with Vicente Griego on cante and Estevan Pacheco on guitar. Tablao format means no row seating between you and the dancers, which changes the experience considerably at high-footwork moments. Tickets through Hold My Ticket move ahead...
A one-hour improv comedy set presented by The Box and Improv Theatre, running a tight 8 PM call on a Saturday night on Central. The Box is a small, close-quarters room where the audience is close enough to the performers that your reactions become part of the show, for better or worse. Tickets are through...
Cockroach Theatre is staging Shakespeare's woodland comedy in The Box Annex, the smaller back space attached to The Box Performance Space on Central. That room is intimate enough that you'll feel the blocking decisions in ways a bigger house wouldn't let you, which is either thrilling or claustrophobic depending on how you feel about immersive...
Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform a full tablao-format flamenco show in one of the few dedicated flamenco venues left on Central. Hotel Albuquerque's tablao room is intimate enough that you'll feel the footwork through the floor, so sit where you can see feet as well as hands. Tickets move on this one,...
Jordan Jonas, best known for surviving 77 days alone in the Arctic on Season 6 of the show Alone, brings whatever he knows about things that go bump in the night to Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series on a Sunday evening. Painted Lady is a small, genuinely weird-in-the-good-way spot on Central, and the intimate...
Three bailaores, a cantaor, and guitarist Chuscales perform traditional flamenco in a seated dinner-show format at Hotel Albuquerque on a Friday evening. Chuscales has backed some of the most serious flamenco artists working today, so this skews closer to a genuine performance than dinner theater, even if the setup looks the same from the outside....
Flor de Toloache is a New York-based all-women mariachi group that has spent the better part of a decade expanding what the genre can hold, pulling in jazz, cumbia, and bolero without losing the thread back to traditional son. The Albuquerque Museum's courtyard is one of the better outdoor venues on the corridor, small enough...
This is a hands-on wreath-making event where you pick a side, nerdy or creepy, and build something seasonal with guidance from OtherworldlyCreationsABQ. Painted Lady runs a tight Brews and Boos series and this crowd tends to be genuinely crafty rather than just there for the theme, so expect actual focus alongside the beer. Check the...
