KiMo Theatre: Fact & Folklore

KiMo Theatre: Fact & Folklore is a richly layered anthology of original stories, essays, memoirs, and photographs that illuminate Albuquerque’s beloved Pueblo Deco landmark. Contributors—including former employees, performers, public officials, and community members—revisit the theatre’s 1927 origins, citizen-led preservation, and evolving role as a performing arts hub, while delving into its murals, architecture, and enduring ghost lore. Woven from careful research and family anecdotes, these pieces reveal how the KiMo has become a living symbol of the city’s cultural spirit and imagination. Edited and written by Jacqueline Murray Loring, the collection preserves the theatre’s history for future generations.
