The Adobe Theater initially opened in the village of Corrales, located just north of Albuquerque. In the mid-1990s, it moved to its current location, where it continues to offer some of the finest community theater experiences in the Albuquerque area. The theater's small and intimate setting provides a unique experience for the audience, unlike any other theater. This community theater is relatively tiny and can seat up to 90 people, allowing the actors to perform right beside the audience. As a result, the audience feels like a part of the action, creating an intimate experience.
