The string quartet did a wonderful job. The venue was beautifully staged and our historic theater. Would have light for the members of the quartet to stand and introduce himself and give a little bio. Look forward to the next one.

Absolutely Fabulous, hadn't been here since the mid 90's, before it closed down. They did a great job refurbishing it to a classic nostalgic feel.....

Such a cool theater! This place hosted an incredible historic live stream of the Virgin Galactic space flight from Spaceport America. The theater was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful especially with the delay of the launch. The event included light refreshments, cool Virgin Galactic merch and even cupcakes after to celebrate the momentous occasion. This was my first time at the theater and it was totally worth it. So excited for the future of New Mexico, where space exploration first began! Would love to visit this theater again for more events. Don't miss out on this incredible place!

Las Cruces folks are some of the politest, friendliest you're ever gonna find, and watching the awards day of the Las Cruces International Film Festival was living proof. The theater is beautifully restored and it was a joy to see so much local talent recognized and honored in this magical space!

400+ seat theater. Exciting location for multiple venues from film screenings to full music and stage productions with space for displays of original art. Newly refurbished.

Concerts here are the best. Beautiful historic venue with no bad seats. Once again we were in a sold out packed house, featuring a Fleetwood Mac tribute band and a lively vocal audience who hollered and cheered in throwback to younger years, defying their age. So nice to see young folks there as well. Their parents and grandparents exposed them to good music.

Food and tickets were great-low prices. Saw "A Midsummer Nights Western "-good but not great. Poor direction allowed actors to abuse Southern accents, miss lines, and drop Fbombs to cover their mistakes. While the Audience may not know the difference- the playwright does. Bad and lazy direction by the director!!!

First time being to the theater since I was a child before they remodeled. I was impressed by the clean environment and comfortable atmosphere. The concessions offered some nice candy choices and the drink cups are nice keepsakes of your experience. We went to see Med-illusions and magic of Raze MD and I found the show itself amazingly done and the performance to be Vegas quality! Never had seen a magic show with people sawed in half before the the theatrics and performance was just amazing. What a wonderful night.

What a lovely gem! The charm of the old theater remains intact. But they have updated sound and screen. A small concession stand in the front serves soda, beer, wine and popcorn. Prices are reasonable. Keep your to go cup you get for $1 off your beverage your next time there. Be sure to catch the special showings from local film makers and, our favorites, the classic films they show again on the bid screen. It's wonderful to enjoy movies you have seen on TV a million times and loved there on the big screen again. Often they are introduced by the presenters with tidbits about the film you may not have known. Tickets aren't stupid crazy. For us both, with fees, buying online we spent less than $20 for tickets to one of these classic films. The theater is well tended and kept. Seats are comfy, balcony is charming, folks who work there are super friendly and parking is easy in the bank lot across the street.

Rio Grande Theater is in the heart of downtown Las Cruces. It's a historical landmark. This small theater shows movies and performances. I enjoyed their free Christmas Sing A Long.

Seriously... this quaint little gem is nestled in the heart of Las Cruces. The theater building itself is original and in tact. The screen and sound is newer. The concession is cute and small, but extremely affordable. They do have discounts to some of the shows from time to time. Be sure to check in.
