Albuquerque Little Theatre

This theatre company is a community staple that has been active since 1930. It began its first six years at the KiMo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque. The organization was founded by a group of civic-minded citizens led by Irene Fisher. Fisher was a reporter and the society editor for the New Mexico Tribune, and she led the campaign to raise an operating budget of $1,000 for the venture. To lead the artistic side of things, the company hired Kathryn Kennedy O'Connor as the director. O'Connor had moved to New Mexico in 1927 for health reasons. I've seen plenty of folks walk by here, and it's always a great spot to see how the local arts scene has evolved over the decades.
