Events on Central

Three Albuquerque-rooted entertainment outfits, AM ENT, JJ Official, and Reklez Ent, are co-presenting this throwback concert at the Lobo, the old movie house on Central that has found a second...

Dee Brown brings a full Ray Charles tribute to the Albuquerque Museum's outdoor amphitheater, backed by Bump City, as part of the 35th year of Music Under the Stars. The...

Two improv groups sharing a stage at The Box means the room feeds on itself, and on a good night that feedback loop produces something no scripted set can replicate. The Box is a small, focused room where the audience is close enough to the performers that your reaction becomes part of the show, so...
