Description

Based on one of the timeless stories of one of the best-selling books of the nineteenth century, this stage adaptation condenses the epic tale so that it can be told by just four actors. The story follows an amateur theatre troupe as they produce the massive tale of the fictional Jewish prince and merchant Judah Ben-Hur. He falls to galley slave and rises to champion charioteer within Jerusalem during the life of Jesus Christ, while the actors struggle along through the piece as rivalries form and offstage romances interfere. Complete with chariot race, sea battle, and stage combat, Patrick Barlow weaves his compressed style popularized by The 39 Steps into one of the largest stories ever told.

Announcements

 New Ticketing
Sadly, we found that the ticketing system we used last season was not convenient for us or our patrons. As a result, we are reverting to the original reservation system. Simply call the theatre at 575-523-1223 and, if we are not there, leave a message with your name (please spell your last name), phone number, the performance you want, the number of seats you want, and any special seating requirements you might have. Please do not use email or other phone numbers to make reservations. since they could get lost!
The theatre is currently rearranged from the earlier shows of the 24-25 season. The stage is currently on the parking lot wall with 6 rows of seating rising from floor level to 40". There are only 12 seats at floor level and the total seating is now reduced to 73 with no ability to add extra seats so please reserve early to assure that you get the seats you want
