History
The Albuquerque Little Theatre was founded in 1930 by a group of civic-minded citizens led by Irene Fisher, a reporter and the society editor for the /New Mexico Tribune/. The idea of a local Theatre group was born when Ms. Fisher attended a lecture by a professional actress named Kathryn Kennedy O'Connor who moved to New Mexico for health reasons in 1927. Ms. Fisher led the campaign to raise an operating budget of $1,000 and Ms. Connor was hired as the Theatre's Director. ALT spent its first six years at the KiMo Theatre in downtown Albuquerque.
In 1936 ALT moved into its present home located at 224 San Pasquale SW, just south of the historic Old Town section of Albuquerque.The original building designed by famed southwestern architect, John Gaw Meem, was the first structure in Albuquerque to be built by the Works Progress Administration as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal."
