Free Shakespeare on New Mexico Rail Runner Express

Planning to ride the New Mexico Rail Runner Express between Santa Fe and Albuquerque soon? Time your trip for one of the Saturday trains to enjoy free performances of Shakespeare during the journey.

On every Saturday through June, July, and August 2010, the University of New Mexico Department of Theatre Education and Outreach stages scenes from Shakespeare on board the train:

  • June = romance scenes
  • July = comedic scenes
  • August = scenes of deceit and treachery.

The Bard’s performances are free, but you’ll need to buy a rail ticket as usual.

The shows are on two Saturday trains only, on these sections of the route:

  • #509 Southbound – between Santa Fe Depot (leaving at 4:32 pm) and Los Ranchos/The Journal Center.
  • #506 Northbound – between Downtown ABQ station (leaving at 2:38 pm) and Santa Fe Depot.

The performances take place in the first railcar behind the locomotive, in the bottom floor.
