This is a unique location, right in the mountains outside Santa Fe. It's an open-air theater with a beautiful southwest and modern design. Getting there and parking is easy considering how many people there are. There's shuttles to help get you around or you can walk. There are people to help you find your seat. The seats are comfortable and there's small screens with translations for you. Restrooms, concessions, gift shop were all good too. Overall, a great time and I'll definitely go again.

Parking lot is huge and they have shuttles. There is a gift shop, box office, restrooms, and security. Concessions are on various floors. We were able to order during intermission, mostly snacks and drinks. English and Spanish written translations provided electronically on the back of each seat for viewers. Great service and ushers too!

I saw their mixed A program which was three pieces, each one unique and well executed. I felt that the tickets were so under priced that after giving a standing ovation, I wanted to go and double what I had paid for my second row seats. My eyes were watering as I tried not to blink for a moment of the show. Costumes, lighting and score were all up to snuff. The theatre itself is a treat, as is people watching. Not to be missed!

The dancers trained here go on to have professional dance careers. They tend to get into the most competitive dance programs in the country, and often with scholarships as well.

The chairs in Accessible area move and while they have arms, they are high enough to allow for larger behinds to sit in them. Even the main seating has been updated to allow for larger behinds, though you are very close arm and leg wise in those seats and getting out with a cane would not be advisable. Sound is great and so far every play has been stellar. From the Popejoy of my childhood the improvements are astronomical. A+ (PS they now allow the food from their little food area to be taken into the theater. No outside food. It's cookies, nuts and candies, hot drinks or sodas and water. (Baked goods and warm drinks are 'as available' and may run out or be unavailable some shows.)

The musicians were phenomenal, the dancing and acting all brought the spirit of Christmas home! I left there with the feeling of Christmas in my heart and the lingering of those traditional carols still on the tip of my tongue.

They go up if you purchase the day of. There's a food court where you can purchase some drinks and snacks. However, I just came for the art.

The stadium seating gives you a splendid view of the stage from any seat, even the wings, and some spots even give you a good view of the orchestra pit. It should come as no surprise that this school's resources are outstanding, and the attention they give their performance departments is enviable. The sound and stage lighting are awesome and the usable space is really top-notch for this type (highschool) of venue. AA kids are well instructed and spectacularly talented. We just went to a production of the Phantom of the Opera and I was moved to tears more than once. The stars of the show couldn't possibly have been highschoolers! They were very nearly as good as any act I've seen at Popejoy and their voices were simply stunning. I love Webber's Broadway score and was really pleased to find AA was putting on that same version of the legendary story. Although they didn't quite match up to the amazing vocalists' performances, the school's orchestra (+ certain wind instruments) did a not-too-shabby job for a highschool crew replicating one of the (IMHO) most powerfully moving scores ever written.

Long story short as I was scrolling through the feed on that blue app I saw an ad for a horror themed circus that promised extra fright. Curiously I pondered at the date and thought why the heck not. Then as I looked at the website I discovered it was being hosted right at the Kimo. The light bulb in my head clicked on and I thought let me see if a friend wants to join so I can make a better decision. Needless to say I waited to buy a ticket. Why you ask? Well Ill be honest I wasn't quite sure at the time. Then fast forward to last weekend and the same ad appeared with a beautiful promotion setting a price I just couldn't refuse. I just knew I had to go. My friend canceled on me but that was ok because when I stepped through those door it was a refreshing experience. I couldn't help but get lost in its great grandeur. As I entered the seating area I looked around and the vibe had me so excited. The show was phenomenal. I had a really great time. I'm so glad I went. Not only did I get to see the inside of this place for the first time but I got to experience a show here which made it so much more special. I look forward to returning for the next show here!
