August 25, 2022 - September 18, 2022

The Fiesta Melodrama, always gazing reverently at its own navel, pays homage to its history, its place in Santa Fe’s “tri-culture,” and at the humor the rabble-rousing casts and crews have used over the decades to deal with local goings-on.

Santa Fe Playhouse has been skewering and roasting the City Different for 100 years. Politicians, public-school policy, police, and the press are all fair game, as are cherished local traditions. Our centennial offering will be extra-special, complete with keepsakes and memorabilia.
