TNM is a 501c3 non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers. We welcome anyone who wants to help us in our efforts to bring a spotlight to our programming of Zarzuela (Spanish operetta & Art songs), Latino Music, Latino Theatre, and Latino Traditions. New Mexico is indeed “the” unique state of the fifty states! Anyone who was born and raised in New Mexico, knows how this uniqueness “feels,” and our desire to share it with others. Our theatre work speaks to this difference, while it includes works from other member cultures under the “Latino” label.

Come join us. We'd like for you to be as proud as we are.

Call Teatro Nuevo Mexico, 505-266-2656 or  505-362-6567 or visit our office at 107 Bryn Mawr SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106. You’ll be glad you did!

After reviewing Teatro Nuevo México and our work, the McCune Foundation presented TNM with a $35,000 grant for infrastructure of the theatre company.

By working with artists and businesses of every stripe, the Committee is presenting Albuquerque’s unique cultural heritage via performances, art installations, and many other media to natives and tourists alike.

The City of Albuquerque Urban Enhancement Trust Fund
After reviewing TNM’s application for Summer Master Classes, the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund made it possible to assist with the creation of summer master classes for adults and children as well as fund partially two elements of the proposal – 1) Actors workshops and 2) New Works by Latino Playwrights to be mounted as main stage productions through TNM and NHCC.

The first programs were scheduled for the summer of 2008. Both classes are taught by Master Teachers, Messrs. Pablo Zinger and José Daniel Apodaca and staged by Artistic Director, Salomé Martínez Lutz. The adult class was met with much support for the community and the children’s protion will delight audiences of all ages.

The National Endowment for the Arts
In 2008, the NEA presented NHCC and TNM a grant to carry on the work of training community performers in the genre of Zarzuela and Spanish Art Songs. This grant allowed TNM and NHCC to bring to Albuquerque one of the world’s most knowledgeable teacher/performer, Maestro Pablo Zinger. He has been Conductor for TNM and their Zarzuela program since 2004, when he reunited with Martinez-Lutz in presenting one of the most famous Zarzuelas ever written, Luisa Fernanda. Zinger and Martinez-Lutz worked together in the mid-1980s in New York City where Martínez-Lutz was a principal singer/actor with the father of all latino theatre companies, Repertorio Espanol.
