“The Shoe Room” is a sobering dance performance honoring those who lost their lives under
Nazi terror during World War II. The moving performance goes beyond the idea of simple
“shoes in a room” and delves into the identities behind those who died after being imprisoned
by the Nazi regime. “The Shoe Room” may be more suitable for older audiences, but whoever
watches it will head back to their Albuquerque hotel rooms with a new perspective on life.
“Anatomy of a Murderer”
Time: Fridays and Saturdays and Thursday, February 5—7:30 p.m.; Sundays—2 p.m.

Sometimes we take on roles out of necessity, and sometimes those roles then take on us. This
exact thing happened for main character Paul Biegler in the courtroom drama “Anatomy of a
Murder.” After losing re-election for District Attorney, Biegler takes on a rather hefty first case in
his new role as a defense attorney—one of a lieutenant who allegedly murdered a bartender
who raped his wife. This is another play that may not be suited for younger audiences, but the
high levels of drama that “Anatomy of a Murder” brings at every turn will grip adults.

If you’ve ever been in a theatrical production, you know how quickly one little misstep during a
performance can lead to its downfall! “Noises Off” presents the happenings that go on behind
the scenes in the theatre world in a hilarious way. In the play, a cast of actors are preparing for
an unremarkable show called “Nothing’s On.” Of course, the cast has its own drama, including
everything from love affairs to inflated egos, that hinders on their ability to put on a successful
show. If you attend this slapstick comedy, you’ll be laughing from the beginning to end—and
even once you leave to go back to your Albuquerque hotel room!
