This is a 45-minute long-form improv set running late on a Friday night, produced jointly by The Box and Improv Theatre. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience is close enough to make eye contact with performers, which either thrills you or makes you want to sit in the back row. Tickets...
On Point Dance Studio fills the Albuquerque Journal Theatre with a full anniversary recital spanning jazz, hip-hop, ballet, folklorico, contemporary, and tumbling, performed by students from the youngest beginners to graduating seniors. The Journal Theatre is a proper proscenium house with good sightlines from most of the house, so if you have a kid in...
Trio Carillo takes the Old Town Gazebo stage for an open-air evening set in one of Albuquerque's most recognizable outdoor spaces. The gazebo's plaza acoustics are naturally lively, so arrive early if you want a spot close enough to hear the detail in the playing rather than just the wash of it. Admission details aren't...
Vohn Vocs takes the stage at Sawmill Market for a Saturday evening set inside one of the corridor's more reliably pleasant food-hall environments. The open layout there means sound bleeds...
Alex Maryol is one of those New Mexico guitar players who has been at this long enough that the blues he plays feels lived-in rather than performed. Marble's downtown patio carries sound well on summer nights, but the indoor bar fills up fast once the set starts, so arriving early gets you a better spot...
Ship Wrek, the Canadian electronic duo with a following that tends to show up in force, headlines this outdoor block party running from 10:30 PM to 6 AM on 1st Street in front of Hollow Spirits Distillery. The street closure format means this spills well past the distillery's usual footprint, which changes the crowd density...
Two distinct Albuquerque jazz acts on one bill: EQNX Jazztet opens at 5pm and Basilaris Trio closes things out at 8pm, which makes this an early evening rather than a late-night affair despite how it reads on the calendar. Tractor's Nob Hill patio is one of the better outdoor listening spots on this stretch of...
Triple-A Pacific Coast League ball between the Isotopes and the Round Rock Express, a Texas League rival with a roster that tends to cycle interesting prospects through. Isotopes Park sits right on Central and has one of the better sightlines in minor league baseball, plus the altitude here does things to fly balls that never...
Three acts, Of Grief & Dreams, Metamorfos, and Mirror Bridge, share original music alongside personal stories in a format built around meaning rather than performance. Keshet is primarily a dance studio, which means the room is intimate, acoustically warm, and closer to the performers than most dedicated music venues ever get. Tickets are through HoldMyTicket,...
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...
