FUSION Theatre Company

What an awesome venue run by fantastic people I love this place and will be back frequently

Fascinating and unique art & theatre space. Whatever the original purpose was for this space the building angels planned on it being here for the duration. Built with good bones. Gorgeous floors. Excellent wall space for art. An ample stage for music & live theatre. Great central location. I'm sure there is something that some grumbly grizzly person will complain about, but not me. I love this venue.

As the saying goes, "theater is always dying". And it is. Recently, my daughter came down with a fever of 103. She spent the afternoon slurping chicken noodle soup, sipping from her water bottle, and we split the entertainment bill between readings of children's books, naps, and her favorite Netflix shows. Yet another roadblock to the performing arts of modern life: streaming video. Man, the performing arts have never faced such competition, it's ugly. For a fraction of the price of admission, that there television offers a wealth of fantastic, pre-recorded drama.And yet theater lives. It always has, it will never die, I have no doubt about this. Say what you want about CGI, Yoda was better as a muppet, so was Jabba the Hut; the same goes for any creature of the big screen. In the year 2015, human still beats virtual, and the Cell Theatre is a den that proves this maxim. This place doesn't just put on great plays, they support the players, and man, they hire the very best. And yeah, they do hire. They're the only true Union playhouse in ABQ, the actors have pedigree, they're getting paid and yeah, the shows meet or beat the off-broadway competition. I've never, ever seen a bad show, here. The current owner/volunteer board of this company are as good if not better than the original founding members who envisioned a place for Union actors to perform in this city, which is swamped with talent and desperate for support. The Cell delivers incredible performances and fully realized shows every single at-bat. If you're debating, just GO. You won't be disappointed and more likely, you'll never forget it. Ever. This is where theater lives in ABQ.

A very intimate theater experience awaits you here at The Cell. The productions are always top quality and they're diverse with their selection of shows. You never know what you'll get here but you know it's always going to be good!
