"Sordid Lives is a black comedy about white trash. It is a story of unconditional love, acceptance and "coming out" in a Texas family, as they all converge for the matriarch's funeral. The eccentric characters include: a mother who is wound-too-tight and in-denial over her gay son, a barfly/singer at the local watering hole, a cheating heart who's wooden legs accidentally aid in the death of his mistress (the family matriarch), and the cheating heart's wife who tries her hand at revenge therapy inspired by "Thelma & Louise". Led by comedic voices, their lives intertwine, giving each a new perspective, honesty and meaning. "

In 1957 the people of Corrales NM got together to create a Community Theater, and named it The ADOBE Theater. They acted, directed, hammered and painted sets, sewed and fitted costumes and did all the other thousand-and-one things that make a theater work. Children were recruited to act and work backstage, to greet patrons with smiles and programs at the door and, best of all, to grow up loving the excitement of Live Theater - on both sides of the footlights.
Today, The ADOBE Theater continues the mission that began that summer long ago: "To present the finest theatrical performances to our community; to provide an educational vehicle to produce plays, musicals and other entertainments - and furnish an opportunity for learning experiences for theater enthusiasts of all ages with any degree of experience."
