The Lensic Performing Arts Cente located in downtown Santa Fe, presents and supports local, national, and international artists and serves as a center for education, community events, and youth events. . Built by local merchant Nathan Salmon and his son-in-law, E. John Greer, the “Spanish-Moorish” style theater opened its doors in 1931 as the city’s grandest movie palace and vaudeville stage. With its original beauty restored and state-of-the-art production capabilities added, the theater relaunched in April 2001 as the nonprofit Lensic Performing Arts Center (info from the original web page).
