Ladera Center

The Fusion Theatre is a professional theater company producing fresh and exciting plays in drama and comedy. Their goal is to inspire and celebrate the community through the art of storytelling and entertainment. Unlike an average off-Broadway theater, Fusion is located right off Broadway. The company is committed to creating plays with universal themes and immediate audience appeal. In addition to being a theater, Fusion is home to a center for arts and culture in Downtown Albuquerque. The campus spans 35,000 square feet, has three stages, indoor and outdoor event spaces, and hosts live music, dance, comedy, theater, and other special events. It is a hub for creative and cultural exploration, making New Mexico the go-to destination for all things artistic and cultural.
