Five Companies Join Albuquerque Theatre Guild

More theatrical performances take place every weekend here in Albuquerque than in any other U.S. city of its size. But how many people actually know that? Or, know what's playing on any particular weekend?

If you knew, you'd not only be impressed by our vibrant and diverse offerings, you'd be making reservations.

And now, there's even more options.

Five new companies have joined the Albuquerque Theatre Guild, the organization that promotes live theater in Albuquerque.

The five new members groups are:

·         Foul Play Cafe: Located within the Sheraton Uptown Hotel, the Foul Play Cafe is an interactive dining experience. The cafe blends a murder mystery play with a four-course meal for a unique evening out.
