About The Vortex

The Vortex Theatre is a venue for classic, contemporary and cutting edge theatre. Our audiences can enjoy wonderful works for the stage. From local and national premieres to new interpretations of classic works, the Vortex continues to be one of Albuquerque’s finest theatres. The Vortex web site is here to help you become a part of the Vortex Theatre. This is where you can find what shows are playing or coming up and what you can do to get involved. From volunteering time and money to participating both backstage and at the front of house. The VORTEX is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) organization.

The Vortex is conveniently located across from the UNM campus, on the south side of Central Avenue, between Terrace Street and Buena Vista Drive. Our box office door opens onto Buena Vista Drive, 3 blocks east of University Blvd. Parking is on the street. The University & Nob Hill districts are minutes away and offer shopping and many choices of restaurants to round out your evening at the theatre.
