about us

The Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts opened in October of 1997, creating a year-round venue for world-class performances in theater, music and dance. An aristocrat among theaters, the $22-million structure is splendid and elegant, yet intimate and welcoming. At the heart of the Spencer, in its 514-seat hall, you'll encounter a powerful experience of the performing arts - outstanding acoustics, intimate seating, and artistry of the highest caliber.

The mission of the Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts is to enrich the cultural lives of South-Central New Mexico's residents and visitors.

The Crystal Lobby took seven months to computer model. The 300 glass panes are over an inch thick and no two are cut to the same size.

Handicap access to all public areas of the theater.

Horseshoe bar on lower level.

Upstairs Founder's Room for use by contributors with a private bar and outdoor seating above a terraced waterfall. Catered pre-performance dinners are held here prior to most events.
