Albuquerque Little Theatre

Albuquerque Little Theatre is a performance house in the Old Town neighborhood designed by architect John Gaw Meem and constructed in 1936 through a federal building program. The structure features a distinctive appearance with architectural details typical of that construction period.

The theater was founded in 1930 by Irene Fisher, a newspaper reporter, and initially performed at another venue before relocating. Its move to the current building coincided with a larger government initiative to support public projects.

The theater serves as a gathering place where the community comes together to experience stories performed on stage. Visitors notice how the building draws neighbors and artists who share their passion for performing arts.

The theater is located on San Pasquale Street in the Old Town area and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that productions change throughout the season, so checking ahead helps you plan your visit around shows of interest.

The building was the first of its kind in the city constructed under a government program created to provide jobs during economic hardship. This history makes the place more than just a theater, but a marker of a movement that supported communities.
