Adobe Theater

In 1957 the people of Corrales NM got together to create a Community Theater, and named it The ADOBE Theater. They acted, directed, hammered and painted sets, sewed and fitted costumes and did all the other thousand-and-one things that make a theater work. Children were recruited to act and work backstage, to greet patrons with smiles and programs at the door and, best of all, to grow up loving the excitement of Live Theater – on both sides of the footlights.

The ADOBE has had many homes since first opening its doors in the old Corrales Trading Post. Performances have since been presented in many different venues, including school auditoriums, an old coffin factory and, from 1963-1987, in the old historic San Ysidro Church.
