El Morro Theatre

B

uilt by local hands and named by a local woman (“el morro” means castle or fortress in Spanish), the El Morro Theatre began its existence as a true community gathering place in the late 1920s. Today, after two renovations, the nearly 500-seat theatre is still being utilized for various community events, from political panel discussions to dance recitals to live music and movies. The theatre stands as a symbol of Gallup’s endurance and vitality. Head to Historic Downtown this month and take in a show. And don’t forget to get something to eat at a downtown restaurant before or after! Call 505-726-0050 for more information on events.
