From children’s theatre to improv, you can find it all in Albuquerque, and there are a lot of great shows to see in June. Here’s some of our favorites for you to see!

There is no reason not to catch a play with free admission. As part of New Mexico’s Shakespeare Festival, the Vortex Theatre will be hosting Romeo and Juliet and Love’s Labour’s Lost at the New Mexico Veteran’s Memorial Park. Two classic plays, one is the tragic tale of star-crossed lovers that you read in high school, the other is the comedic following of lecherous men as they try to swear off women. Both are amazing, and showcase how timeless Shakespeare’s writing is.
June 15 – Funny Fiesta
Enjoy an evening of improv theatre, along with other variety show acts at the Blackout Theatre. As you can see from the Youtube videos, the troupe is hilarious, and will have you rolling in the aisles with laughter. You never know what they will come up with, and that’s the beauty of improv theatre!
