The Box Performance Space

We visited The Box with a few friends for the first time last Friday. What a great place for some laughs and to de-​stress after a long work week!
Improv theatre requires a lot of courage… hats off to the actors for pulling it off! They were clever, quick-​witted, and readily accepted audience suggestions. The participation component of the show makes it even more fun and interactive.
Bonus…the tickets are under $ 10 each. Definitely left more of a lasting impression than a typical movie date. If you go in the winter, the theater is a bit chilly… come prepared and get cozy.

Had a great time with my wife. Price is good for a solid hour of entertainment. An easy way to get out the house and grab a bite to eat before or after. I would definitely do it again if I had friends or family in town.

Looking to do something out side of the regular weekend box? Well, every Friday and Saturday night is Improv Night at The Box Theater! This is a downtown hidden treasure that you need to check out! Awesome group of actors in a inanimate theater setting to experience improv at it’s finest for just $ 10! I was able to see Bob Odenkirk as the special guest and it was amazing! The Box Theater is great for a date night or if you just need a really good laugh!

I’ve hit up The Box a couple of nights to watch their improve group. Hilarity every time! No seriously, I know we say we LOL but do you really? Come here and you will ALOL (actually laugh out loud), I promise.
Our latest trek out to The Box had a special guest appearing with the troop, Mr. Bob Odenkirk. Saul Goodman to those of you who only know him by his character name. This guy is funny! He could have easily overpowered the group but each and every member of that troop is so strong and incredibly talented that it was a great blend! They have a cute little concessions corner too. Trust me check out their improve group, you will not be disapointed!

This is one of the less known fun things to do in Albuquerque. I’ve been here with my friends several times and we always laugh our faces off. All the shows are improv, which can make for some interesting scenarios. For the price, it is worth the entertainment value. I believe it’s around $ 8.00 a ticket.
If you’ve officially ran out of things to do in Albuquerque, check out this place. They also offer improv classes you can sign up for.

I love The Box. Small theater with regular improv comedy shows and sometimes, a traveling show will swing through.
The improv classes here are top-​notch and a complete blast. I’ve met some of the nicest people just from going to a comedy show and signing up for classes.

Just saw The Show at the Box and it was fantastic! The show that we saw was 100% improv, so suggestions from the audience was key. It was completely unscripted, so sitting with a creative audience made it very interesting. I loved every minute and cannot wait to go back!

This Update specifically references The Show, a recurring, local improv troupe that I had the pleasure of checking out this past Saturday.
I’ll preen just a second, here. I’m a theatre veteran of this town. As an actor and playwright I’ve cut my teeth on the stage all over this city, waaay before The Box came into existence. Improv is it’s own beast, seriously tough. I couldn’t imagine doing it. To get an idea of the juevos it takes to pull off a solid hour of quality improv, consider that it’s tantamount to ripping your clothes off and standing in front of an audience of strangers.
I was thoroughly impressed by the talent exhibited by The Show. Not only are these people competing for the pinnacle of local talent, there are moments that meet Second City standards, they’re doing the shows with style and smarts. Catch them now to watch ‘em gel; in a year or two, they’ll be a machine. More than anything, I was disappointed with the crowd, who offered some pretty lame suggestions for the improvised sets. Overall, I laughed endlessly. We had a great time, ticket prices were totally fair (about eight bucks), and the cast was happy to meet us after the show. GO!

We went here to see «Winning the Future» by Up and Down Theater Company. It was a hilarious musical. I highly recommend this show. They will be performing there again on tonight and tomorrow ⁴⁄₆. We had a great time. Next time I will get there earlier to have a sit next to my husband. We got there 5 minutes before the show and it was packed. It is a small theater too. Luckily, a nice man switched seats with me so I could be next to my guy.

I dig the Box. Cute little black box theatre, very intimate. Plenty of restaurants, bars, and parking nearby. Excellent venue for the Duke City Improv Festival. Looking forward to seeing more stuff here.

I went to the Duke City Improv Festival here and caught two shows. It’s a little black box theater with less than 50 seats (and the ability to set up folding chairs for overflow audience), a small concession stand, and, at least for the DCIF event, Tractor Brewing Company beers and some wines being sold in the lobby.
I had a great time sitting in the crowd, drinking my Tractor beer, and unwinding to truly entertaining performances after a long week. The improv festival, which I understand is annual, is a definite must-​do, but if this is any indication to the type of fun, creative events that happen at the Box, anything that piques your interest would probably be worth the trip.
