Santa Fe Playhouse

Santa Fe Playhouse is a one-hundred year old startup. Founded in 1922 by Mary Austin and operating as a community theater for much of its life, the company has been transitioning to a professional regional theater model in the last eight years. The work of the Santa Fe Playhouse is the development, production, and presentation of exceptional live performances for residents and visitors of Santa Fe. With three types of programs; 1) Live performances on the historic main-stage, from original productions of classic, experimental, and new works, to guest artist presentations; 2) Educational opportunities, which develop theater skills and deepen appreciation of the craft of theater, and; 3) New work development, which results in new plays by local writers, from 10 min plays to full length dramas. Santa Fe Playhouse is cultivating a more vibrant live arts scene in Santa Fe while providing education, job opportunities, and career pathways for residents.
