DIRECTORIES

The Albuquerque Theatre Guild (ATG) is a non-profit organization committed to making the Albuquerque area's rich live-theatre scene better known to both residents and visitors alike and to helping its members do better and better work. More than 35 theatre companies and venues and 150 individuals belong to ATG. Our mission sums it up: to promote public awareness of live theatre in the greater Albuquerque area, to encourage the growth of theatre audiences, to foster cooperation and collaboration among the member organizations, and to facilitate and assist the work of individual members involved in all aspects of theatrical production. We don't want to be Albuquerque's best-kept secret any longer. Believe it or not, more live theatre happens every weekend right here in Albuquerque than in any other city of similar size in the country. The offerings range from musicals on a big stage to stand-up comedy on a small one. You can see a folk zarzuela or a familiar fairy tale come alive for children. In any given season, you might see classics and top writers from Shakespeare to Arthur Miller, David Mamet to Paula Vogel, John Patrick Shanley to Ntozake Shange. Works by local playwrights, such as Lou Clark or Mark Dunn, also take the stage, in full productions or in staged readings.
