The actors who often take the stage at Theater Grottesco love to challenge their audiences. These performers are as versatile as they are talented, and that is quite obvious from the far-ranging selection of material that the group performs year round. From side-splitting comedy entertainment to stern-faced dramas to buoyant dance numbers, these pros can do it all. And, in addition to offering such fine theatrical performances, their work is often thought-provoking and emotionally charged to the point that what they do within the confines of their characters will make a lasting imprint on you long after the curtain has come down.

The Plaza was once considered the "Central Park" of the city many years ago. Today, this beautiful area with its inviting trees, grass, benches and monuments is still a vital hub of activity. The Plaza is the core of old Santa Fe as it features several attractions, restaurants and shops in the plaza and in the surrounding streets. This site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is usually the site for many of the city's high-profile events.

Santa Fe's highly appealing outdoor amenities are celebrated year-round at Hyde Memorial State Park. You'll find several excellent spots to enjoy a picnic or just relax as you toss the frisbee around with the kids and enjoy the scenery. There's also more fun to be had on the hiking trails that offer still another chance to get closer to the amazing natural beauty of the park. Camping is another attraction, as the park offers 350 acres of woods and meadows. Plus, the park is located just three miles south of the Santa Fe Ski area which makes it a great stop during ski season.

That elusive trout won't be that difficult to find on the end of your line when you head out on a recreational fishing excursion with the pros from The Reel Life. Trout are plentiful in the Rio Chama, northwest of Santa Fe, and the pros from Reel Life will direct you to the best spots for an awesome catch. You can also arrange a day trip to nearby waters for more excellent fishing.
