KiMo Theatre History!

In 1999, preservation of the KiMo Theatre was completed with the installation of new seating and carpet, a main stage curtain, and new technology, such as lighting hidden between and behind the vigas on the ceiling. The KiMo continued to restore original parts of the design while updating the building, placing live performances and the arts at the heart of its purpose.

KiMo Theatre History!

In recognition of the KiMo’s architectural and cultural significance, the City of Albuquerque purchased the aging movie palace in 1977. Refocusing artistic output towards local theater productions and music concerts, the KiMo steadily regained popularity. In 1981, architect Harvey Hoshour oversaw the renovation of the first floor and restored the exterior to its original appearance. The history of the building played a significant role in restoration efforts. Mission light fixtures on the façade were replicated from old photographs, and the iron thunderbird figures on the lobby’s balcony railings used additional metal provided by the grandson of the balcony’s original craftsman.
