The Aux Dog Theatre is making a career of being as edgy and dark as it can. Although with all the shock value available on the bottomless pit of the Internet or unapologetically vile television, it doesn’t always seem to have the desired effect. Not that “Coming Attractions” by Ted Tally is irrelevant.

Minka Kelly Recently announced as Esquire’s sexiest woman alive (whatever that means), Kelly spent time in Albuquerque where she learned to kickbox and sold tamales out of the back of an AMC Spirit.
Many customers don’t know that Winning Coffee Co. doesn’t just caffeinate its customers. Winning owners established Q-Staff Theatre in 1999, and the physical, experimental theater group does work based on training it received in eastern Europe.
Sita Huber is absolutely gorgeous. The UNM student’s eighth-place showing at a national beauty contest confirms that.
Kristianna Smith dropped out of high school around 13 and applied to community college courses at 15.
Contrary to what it may seem, Fusion Theatre Company’s production of “Happy Days” is not part of a chain reaction of existentialism tearing through Albuquerque. The writer, Samuel Beckett, is best known for writing “Waiting for Godot” and kicking it with Jean-Paul Sartre.
While it may take some writers years to compose a full-length novel, one group asks would-be authors to churn one out in a month. Nov.
It was one of those three-in-one events — a gallery, music show and costume party — that displayed a grab bag of UNM students’ artistic endeavors. Except it wasn’t affiliated with the University, even though UNM students organized it. The Monster Mash was the first show at the newly opened Hydra Gallery on Lomas Boulevard.
Project Acoustic mandates that bands strip down music to its base — that is, without the bass. Local acts from Albuquerque will play acoustic sets Friday at the El Rey Theater. Event organizer Helmut Perzi said acoustic minimalism is unusual in concerts. “What we’re trying to do is — you see a lot of these bands, and you see them in their same way all the time,” he said.
The Vortex is back with the South again, as politely Machiavellian as ever. “The Little Foxes” by Lillian Hellman tells the story of a wealthy, but poignantly non-aristocratic southern family that fall victim to their own destructive methods that created their own greedy success.

Lights flash out from the long windows at Andre’s Underground, as a bunch of people smoke outside the seemingly abandoned building off Amherst Drive and Central Avenue. Enter the world of Sub Culture — an art installation, set to the city’s best thumping electronica beats, myriad colored patterns set on an infinite loop and, of course, dancing. Event organizer Shawn Marron said he and his business partner Dylan Sheriff came up with the idea after visiting too many still art installations. “Everything we do there, we try to make it so people can get involved with the art,” Marron said.
Nourish International looks to squash world hunger by smashing pumpkins. Pumpkin Bash and Pumpkin Smash will raise money for a summer sustainability project, said Audrey Altwies, the project director.
An extraordinary amount has been written on what happens after death, despite the fact that no one in a position to write about it has actually experienced it. That endless fascination and fear with the unknown is perhaps why hell is the perfect setting for “No Exit,” a play by French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre’s hell appears as a single room with no windows, but this is a misnomer.
Forget murder, the journey even to this place was adventure enough. Sandia Park seems a blind distance further into the East Mountains than it actually is.
While many UNM students are busy studying conventional subjects like math and journalism, Cedra Wood is at the back of the C&J building quietly constructing world-class violins. Wood, a master’s student in painting and drawing, spends her spare time working with Violin Shop Director Peter White.
