The Game's Afoot
Written by: Ken Ludwig
Directed by: Yannig Morin
December 5 - 28

An actor who plays Sherlock Holmes invites guests to his home for the Christmas holidays only to find he must be a real detective when a guest turns up dead.

Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” is the last of his four drawing-room plays, the previous three being “Lady Windermere’s Fan”, “A Woman Of No Importance” and “An Ideal Husband”, written a couple of hundred years ago! This farcical comedy depicts the tangled affairs of two young ‘men about town’ who lead double lives to evade unwanted social obligations, both assuming the name ‘Ernest’ while wooing the two young women of their affections. The play, celebrated for its wit and repartee, parodies contemporary dramatic norms, gently satirizes late Victorian manners, and introduces – in addition to the two pairs of young lovers – the formidable ‘Lady Bracknell’ – you must have heard of her! A luminary of Albuquerque theatre holding the director’s baton, Mario Cabrera has chosen six very well-known actors – Georgia Athearn, Nicee Brown, Clair Gardner, Jerry Hines, Bailey Hunt, Scott Sharot and Michael Weppler - to delight the audience, along with M. Cabrera, as ‘Lady Bracknell’! Performances 7.30pm Fridays and Saturdays. Additional performances Thursday Dec 11 and 18 at 7.30pm ($10 tix available). Saturday Dec 13 - 2pm only.

NMT's Annual Spring Musical: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Presented by the NM Tech CLASS Department in collaboration with Socorro Community Theater. There will be three performances: Fri-Sat, March 27-28, 7:30pm, and Sunday, March 29, 2pm at Macey Center.

Six awkward spelling champions learn that winning (and losing) isn't everything.
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. The small cast and unit set make this a perfect option for high schools or community theatres. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite.
