Rio Grande Theatre June 2012 Calendar of Events

Friday, June 1

Howling Coyote Coffeehouse & Open Mic

A staple of the downtown ArtRamble since February of 2006, the Howling Coyote started out as a jam session for local musicians and quickly grew into a showcase featuring some of finest talent Las Cruces has to offer. The monthly event now makes the Rio Grande Theatre its home and continues to feature primarily acoustic musicians, singers and songwriters with family-appropriate material. Showtime is 7pm. Admission is Free. For more information visit www.RioGrandeTheatre.com or call (575) 523-6403.

Friday - Sunday, June 8 - 10

Nunset Boulevard

Driftwood Productions presents the seventh in the award-winning Nunsense series by playwright Dan Goggin, which follows the Little Sisters of Hoboken as they travel to Tinseltown to sing at the Hollywood Bowl. They are thrilled at the prospect until they arrive and realize that they are booked into the Hollywood Bowl-A-Rama---a bowling alley with a cabaret lounge - and not the famed \"Bowl\" they were planning on. Still, the show must go on and these sisters have a few tricks up their sleeves to make the evening unforgettable. Show times are 8pm on Friday and Saturday; 2pm on Sunday. Tickets are $10. To reserve tickets go to www.RioGrandeTheatre.com. For more information call 575-523-6403.
