Shakespeare in Albuquerque
The New Mexico Shakespeare Festival presented by the Vortex Theatre and the City of Albuquerque is one of only 14 free Shakespeare festivals in the nation. We believe a great city produces great theatre, and that there is no better venue for that than the beautiful Veterans Memorial Park where we perform the plays of William Shakespeare as acted by our company of professionals. Let us know if you would like to be a part of a creative and dynamic arts activity in our city - email info@vortexabq.org
