    UNM Areaarts & performanceTickets

    A Liminal 77 Production brings Platonic Ideal into The Box Annex, the smaller, more immediate of the two spaces inside The Box Performance Space on Central. The Annex puts the audience close to whatever is happening on that stage, which either works in a show's favor or ruthlessly exposes it. Tickets are through Hold My...

    A Liminal 77 Production brings Platonic Ideal to The Box Annex, the smaller, more interior room tucked behind the main Box Performance Space on Central.

    UNM Areaintimate venueTickets

    Zenobia takes the Outpost stage for the 30th year of Summer Thursday Jazz Nights, one of the most quietly consistent concert series on the corridor. Outpost keeps the room small and the sound close, so this is nothing like a festival stage or a background-music bar gig. If you have not been, the Thursday series...

    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Improv comedy night at The Box, co-presented with Improv Theatre, meaning the performers likely have actual training and structure behind them rather than a loose open-mic feel.

    In The Box Annex is bringing their quiz show format into The Box Performance Space, a black-box theater on Central that tends to reward audiences willing to play along with something a little weirder than a bar trivia night.

  • Improvised Shakespeare at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreatheaterTickets

    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...
