Tickets prices are extremely reasonable and, due to the size of the theater, every single seat is perfect. This is a clean facility (restrooms and all) and they make good use of the small space. Seating is comfortable, which is not always the case in small theaters. If you are a fan of musicals, give them a shot. You won't be disappointed!

My expectations were pretty low after googling the location, but I saw Newsies here last night, and…read moreI was so impressed! That particular show is EXCELLENT and I highly recommend it! The theater of course has new shows constantly, but they are clearly of much higher quality than I expected - I thought I was in for some real cringe-worthy amateur theater. The venue is small and intimate, but it works. The orchestra is excellent. There are very limited snacks available for purchase. Small parking lot, but lots of street parking available. Definitely check out this venue and consider supporting the arts by becoming one of the Musical Theatre Southwest Amigos who do everything from ushering to set painting.

I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the Zoom Event for Head Over Heels. The process to get me…read moretickets to the event was super easy and several people reached out to make sure I had all the information to view the event. The show consisted of a variety of acts, plus 3 women who were the emcees of the event. I think the emcees had more fun than anyone!!! Because of the way I logged in, I was able to comment on the acts, which in this new world, made me feel a little like I was there. There was even an act that requested audience participation, and it was fun to see others chiming in. I must say that this isn't my favorite way to see a show, but I totally admire all the participants for putting their all into the show.

Without getting too involved in the history of this company, which likely isn't why you're reading…read morethis review, I want to say that I first encountered this theatre company back in, oh, maybe 2009. Two founders of Duke City Rep, Amelia Ampuero and Frank Green, made cordial, friendly small talk in the black box of North 4th about how they'd chosen Albuquerque as their home because they felt our city was the perfect hatching ground for a more mature theatre scene. Green, in particular, struck me as a passionate dude with a "look" that stuck, he was simultaneously wily and steady, the kind of guy I wanted to see on stage. Since that time they've filled their resumé with winning productions at The Filling Station and the polished, Union-supporting company, The Cell. This year I had an opportunity to catch their Halloween thriller, "Night of the Living Dead". Set in a basement during a zombie apocalypse, Duke City Rep managed to suspend my disbelief for the better part of 40 minutes. I finally got to see Green in action, too, and he didn't disappoint. This company has the gritty, ambitious feel that founded another Burque performance ensemble, Tricklock. There's no time like the present to catch this crew in action -- they're gelling and connecting, there's an energy on stage that typically won't stick around too long, that's just the way the theatre beast rolls; like bands that get signed to major labels, eventually that chemistry splinters. So right about now, you're looking at a really good garage band, you best see a show.

The reception area is large and welcoming and perfect for before and after show gatherings. They offer up their wall space here to local artists. Concessions has a nice mix of treats. The overall space is clean and welcoming. I especially love when they produce avant-garde and off-beat, cerebral plays as opposed to relying on the tried-and-true automatic crowd pleasers. Even when they do fall back onto the popular shows, you know it will be excellent. This is a venue and troupe to support.

I realize why it is there but I wonder if they could move it a little bit lower so it's not right on the same plane as the stage. Also, there is only one way in and out of the seating, so if there isn't an intermission during the production, you are viewing be sure to go before it starts. Or else you will interrupt the show and possibly smash your neighbors feet. Not sure if I am going to come back here, I guess it depends on the performance.

We didn't come prepared as it was hot and sunny towards the late afternoon into the evening. A lot of people brought their gear to camp out a spot for the evening concert.

I just moved to ABQ, so it's my first time here, but I could see it growing with more vendors since there is so much space. Did pickup a few things to support the locals. Looking forward to the next one.

I'm here tonight watching "The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told" on an appropriately stormy night. This play, written about twenty years ago by Paul Rudnick, has been brought back at a perfect time in American Cultural history by director Dagmar Garza. The play is a reinvisioning of the creation story familiar in the Bible in the expected way for a queer-revisioning: with Adam and Steve. The play is much more complex, however, than just making a statement about homosexuality. We the audience watch as the characters discover the world and grapple with philosophical questions as if they were children, unaware of dogma. The play also includes an interesting narrative style, with the "Stage Director," a character in the play, providing the kind of narration traditionally supplied by a chorus. The play is mostly funny and bawdy. As far as being philosophically insightful, it lacks any powerful punch that might elevated it beyond the level of entertainment. Nevertheless, the show is well acted, timely, and interesting. I recommend you see it before it closes on the 28th. PS. Billy Mallard really stole the show as gay Santa. And as for The Desert Rose: I'll be back. :)

The director had taken stickers with you name on it and placed it on the chairs. She had a list at the door of who went where. When we complained it was to no avail.

The theater is not very nice and the acoustics were terrible. I would not recommend this theater and certainly would not go to the venue again.
