Events on Central

New Mexico United brings USL Championship soccer to the stadium that sits right on the Central Avenue corridor, this time against FC Tulsa in what the standings will likely make...

Improv Theatre brings a live, unscripted comedy show to The Box, a small black-box room on Central that rewards audiences willing to be in the room rather than watching from a distance. The Box runs intimate, so there is no bad seat, but there is also nowhere to hide if a performer pulls you in....

Noen Nite plays Gaia's Kava Root, the kava bar tucked into the Central corridor near UNM that runs quieter and stranger than most rooms its size. The sourcing here is thin, so confirm the set time before you go, since a 3 a.m. UTC start converts to something late even by this neighborhood's standards. Tickets...

In the Box Annex is staging an improv-meets-cabaret mashup where the structure of a chorus line collides with the chaos of unscripted comedy, and the result is exactly as unpredictable...

The cast takes audience suggestions and builds a Shakespeare-style play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all, in real time.

Triple-A baseball between the Albuquerque Isotopes and the Las Vegas Aviators, played under the lights at one of the best minor league parks in the Southwest. Isotopes Park sits right...

Every Tuesday night, Bass Queens opens the decks at Gaia's Kava Root to anyone who wants to play, from road-tested selectors to people still figuring out their gain staging. The...

The Isotopes host the Las Vegas Aviators for a Thursday night game at Isotopes Park, the triple-A ballpark sitting right on Central Avenue in the UNM corridor. The start time...

The Isotopes, Oakland's Triple-A affiliate, take on the Las Vegas Aviators in an evening Pacific Coast League game at the ballpark sitting right on Central. Isotopes Park has some of the best sightlines of any minor league stadium in the Southwest, and the summer heat drops fast once the sun goes behind the third-base grandstand...
