In The Box Annex takes improv comedy somewhere extraterrestrial with A51*, a short-form set built around an alien or Area 51 conceit. The Box is a genuine black-box theater, which means sightlines are good from every seat and the room stays intimate enough that the performers can actually play off the audience. The 10:15 p.m....
A tablao-format flamenco show at Hotel Albuquerque, close enough to the performance floor that the footwork lands in your sternum. The room rewards early arrival, since sightlines from the back rows are noticeably more compromised than the front.

The Isotopes take on the Tacoma Rainiers in a late-summer Pacific Coast League matchup at the ballpark that sits right on Central, close enough to walk from a dozen bars....
Triple-A ball on a September Thursday evening, with the Isotopes hosting Tacoma in what is typically one of the more comfortable stretches of the Albuquerque baseball calendar, once the worst of the summer heat has backed off. Isotopes Park sits right on the Central corridor and the parking situation is manageable if you arrive a...
