Renee Peña's simple, vibrant autobiography--her childhood in Gallup, NM, her family relationships, her travels throughout 27 countries--is like a laid back aunt telling stories at a family reunion.
Locally produced one act, 'Bedtime Stories With Popplewell,' should've seen a lot more revision before opening in the Tricklock Performance Laboratory, but the community came out to support it anyhow.
The Cell Theater's equity theater company, Fusion, is now playing 'Stupid F***ing Bird,' a new (as of 2013) tragi-comedy written by Aaron Posner that comments on its newness by embodying the skin of its ancestor, Chekov's 'The Seagull.
At the release concert of her latest CD, 'Coming of the Night,' Albuquerque artist Meredith Wilder shows her community she's strong and ready to grow.
A prodigy in her own right but suppressed because she was a woman and forgotten in the shadow of her brother Wolfgang, Maria Anna Mozart tells her true story in a galvanizing, intimate one-woman show, 'The Other Mozart,' touring from New York and playing at the Aux Dog Theater Nob Hill until January
BENCHWARMERS is Santa Fe's longest running, one act play festival.
THE HAT, which opened at the Santa Fe Playhouse on March 12, is a personal and highly original tale, dealing with some of the lesser known human stories of world war II.
BILLY SHAKESPEARE is a spicy little independent film by Deborah Voorhees that imagines what might happen if William Shakespeare tried to make it as a writer in today's Hollywood rather than Elizabethan England.
The Santa Fe Playhouse is the oldest, continuously running community theater west of the Mississippi and summer would not be complete without its production of the FIESTA MELODRAMA.

Since its launch in 2003, Fusion Theatre Company's festival of short works, THE SEVEN, has established itself as one of the premier theatrical events of its kind in the country and even beyond.
THE GOOD BODY, performed for one night only at the Lensic Performing Arts Center, is Eve Ensler's younger, less well-known companion piece to THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES.
LUMA, which lit up the Lensic stage on April 6, is a unique theatrical experience.
THE LYONS, which opened at the Santa Fe Playhouse on March 27, is aptly described by director, Janet Davidson, as a 'dramedy.
The career versus marriage debate has been going on ever since women's lib first appeared on the scene and made it an issue.
In an age of 30 second sound bites and attention deficit disorder, keeping an audience engaged and entertained for a non-stop 70 minutes is quite an achievement, And when a subject as dry as the US Constitution provokes regular gales of laughter throughout, the performer is clearly not your average,
Who would have thought that a cheap, black and white horror movie, shot in 1960 by Roger Corman in just two days, would resurface some 20 years later, to become an off-Broadway musical comedy smash hit? The show, in its new incarnation (created by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken) ran for over four yea
It was Mel Brooks' runaway success with his musical version of THE PRODUCERS,' that inspired him to do the same thing with YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.
