I gave “Good People” a standing ovation without hesitation. Everything else is secondary. There are many plays in Albuquerque that are absolutely exceptional for one reason or another: fine acting, clever scripts, creative technics. All these achievements are worthy of praise and notice.
After more than two hours of dancing, a cappella performances and numerous vocal harmonies, freshman Ricky Garcia arose from the crowd to collect a top prize of $500 at the Sixth annual Lobo’s Got Talent (LGT) Friday night. Garcia, 18, is a vocal performer and he said he wasn’t sure he was going to participate until about two hours before the application deadline.
New things to learn? Check. Art to see and hear? Check? Relevant pop culture activities? Check. Looks like a good week to be in Albuquerque.
Sarah Crawford’s, Jocelyn Quintana’s and Ruthie Fogelman’s ages span across two decades. Their life stories and career goals are radically different, but they have one important thing in common: all three women got pregnant and considered abortion. The Nov. 19 vote on the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” has sparked heated local conversation on New Mexico’s late-term abortion laws as well as broad debates about abortion in general.
Big changes are coming to Winrock Center this week as a new 16-screen IMAX theater welcomes moviegoers to its grand opening. The Winrock Stadium 16 celebrated its grand opening week with $2 popcorn
Whether you’re a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior in college, the temptation to spend money is everywhere and before you know it, there’s not a penny left to shop for the important stuff. And let’s face it, it’s hard to put your foot firmly on the ground and stick to a budget when all you want to do is have fun.
Entertainment should strive to provide what the audience wants, but not in the way they expect. Or if they can’t be bothered, just some hackneyed trash will do. The Aux Dog Theatre has selected “Boeing Boeing,” a 1960s French sex farce, as its oddly dated choice for its current production.
I’m not really one to read erotic books. I have nothing against them, and I know plenty of people who find excitement in reading tales of the kinky, but I’m just not one of them. When I first opened “The Big Book of Orgasms: 69 Sexy Stories,” I wasn’t quite sure what I was in for.
Cellists, karaoke, wine and even a carnival; this week is full of unique events for students looking for something to do.
Daniel Libeskind talks with his fans and the public after his lecture “The Language of Architecture” at Woodward Hall on Thursday evening.
When construction for the Duck Pond began in 1974, University architect Van Dorn Hooker said he shrugged off initial criticism of the project. As Dorn Hooker wrote of the most vocal nay-sayers, the staff of the New Mexico Daily Lobo, in his book “Only in New Mexico: An Architectural History of the University of New Mexico,”
Former University architect Van Dorn Hooker spent the past three years composing a comprehensive list of short biographies each person whose name is on a UNM building, monument or memorial. While Dorn Hooker’s untitled work is waiting to be published, the Daily Lobo has compiled a short list detailing three prominent figures.
The droning roar reverberates against the wooden floorboards as the movements of a lithe woman weave about the stage. A hum sounds again as a man with a gray ponytail blows into the 3-foot didgeridoo. Behind them, the soft swishing and scratching of charcoal sticks on paper.
Theater students dive into sexually repressed, 19th century Germany in this season’s musical, exploring dangerously intimate issues that are still relevant today. Racy and controversial both then and now, “Spring Awakening” was originally written and staged by Frank Wedekind in 1891.
Motörhead seems to get louder with every new album, and “Aftershock” is no exception. The 21st album from the band, which was founded by Lemmy Kilmister and now features Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, never strays from the group’s speed metal roots, and it doesn’t disappoint, either.
Most music scenes have a band or two that are heralded as being the genre’s “nice guys.” The Swellers fit that bill in the world of melodic punk. These Flint, Mich. natives play music that is fast, fun and stripped of the pretense countless other punk bands have.
New Mexicans love their bacon, and the turnout of nearly 8,000 pork lovers at the Southwest Bacon Fest Saturday demonstrated that nicely. Some vendors were prepared for the large turnout, but others were not, leading to long waits for some booths, especially the beer vendors.
Why is there a rock musical about 1890s German school children hitting puberty in a cold, sexually confusing and unhelpful society? Well, because there was a play written in Germany on exactly that time about exactly that.
For most of us, the candy hangover is still going strong, so let’s make it an easy week filled with sitting events and quiet.
