We attended many performances over the years by a variety of different artists and lectures, ballets and musical performances. This theater in the heart of Santa Fe is a true gem and will hopefully serve our community for many years to come.

Beautifully restored old theatre in Santa Fe. We had the priveledge of enjoying a Mary Chapin Carpenter/Shawn Colvin concert. The seating was reasonably comfortable, the acoustics were good, and the interior beautifully restored.

We enjoyed the Mary Chapin Carpenter concert and the Lensic was small enough to feel that you had a good seat wheeever you were.

I suggest that you get there a bit early and purchase your tickets before hand, there seemed to be a line. The people working there very friendly and helpful. The only negative was that seats were...

Year round, a wonderful assortment of live and screened performances. Symphonies, Chamber Music, Dance, and Live from London Theater. I live here and go about 3-4 times a month.
