ue Arts & Cultural District, the FUSION campus includes The Cell, the 708 building, and The Meadow. Opening spring 2022, The Meadow is our new outdoor performance and event space, which will host concerts, performances, and community events. The Cell, the original home of FUSION Theatre Company, is finding new life this year as we welcome a coffee shop, commercial kitchen space, and recording studio space. 708 houses our beautifully renovated current performance and gallery spaces, as well as offices and meeting rooms. FUSION is home base for New Mexico's only professional regional theatre company, named “one of the ten most promising emerging theatre companies in the U.S." Founded in 2001, FUSION Theatre Company has been an Equity House since formation and is the longest-lived theatre company in New Mexico's history. Performing in Albuquerque and throughout the state, the company has brought celebrated productions to stages large and small. FUSION Theatre Company will return to the stage this spring with the audience favorite, The Seven, our annual short works festival. Building on our dedication to community partnership, in 2017 FUSION began an economic development project that provides co-operative office, meeting, culinary, rehearsal, and performance spaces. As a partner organization for the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund Programs’ Resiliency Residency program, FUSION serves as fiscal sponsor and host for 18 resident artists. FUSION also serves as fiscal sponsor to a variety of fledgling community organizations, sharing resources to nurture the growth of healthy arts and culture in Albuquerque. FUSION’s mission is to incite global empathy through storytelling, positively impacting the human race. We are dedicated to professional excellence, community-inspired creative space, and the inspiration of our children, the genesis of our future. Join us this year and enjoy a packed schedule with concerts, community markets, and theatrical performances!
