The festival celebrates expression across theater, dance, puppetry, and music, highlighting adventurous work that pushes artistic boundaries and explores expansive human experiences.
Opportunities Available
- Four presentation slots available in June and July 2026
- One-week production window (load-in, tech, and four performances)
- Festival production support, including stage manager, producer, and technical director
- Use of the festival repertory plot and select venue stock

We welcome independent producers and organizations seeking a secondary venue to present their work.
Please note: 505 Alive! is not currently seeking works-in-progress in need of production support or scripts in development. Additional calls supporting new work development will be announced separately.
What We’re Looking For:
We are seeking pieces that platform New Mexican voices, experiences, and stories, celebrating the diversity, complexity, and vibrancy of our community. We highly encourage submissions that complement our 2026 season theme: POWER PLAYS. In 2026, we turn our stage into a battleground, a sanctuary, and a mirror, exploring the many faces of power: who holds it, who resists it, and how it is reclaimed. Theater has the unique ability to reflect our current moment, allowing us to confront the forces shaping our lives from a shared, safe space.
