GoRuidoso Presents Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts

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.

Designed by Albuquerque architect Antoine Predock, the building itself is a work of art reminiscent of pyramids, mountain peaks, and sci-fi star cruisers. Faced in 450 tons of Spanish mica-flecked limestone, the theater features a waterfall gently cascading from the core of the white wedge-shaped structure and a crystal lobby jutting from the north side like a cut diamond.
