About The Hiland Theater

The Hiland Theater is a beloved Albuquerque venue with mid-century cinema roots and a vibrant life as a performing-arts space. Home to NDI New Mexico, the Hiland hosts classes, performances, and community events in a setting that honors its Route 66 heritage. With seating historically around 1,188 (published capacities vary by source), the theater offers an intimate atmosphere for a wide range of programs. Located at 4800 Central Ave SE (also listed as 4804 Central Ave SE), the Hiland sits in the Nob Hill corridor—an area rich with culture, dining, and convenient access to transit.

Whether you’re attending a class, a concert, or a screening, you’ll find straightforward ticketing and helpful options to secure your seats. We’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby hotels and restaurants to help you plan a smooth visit to this Albuquerque cornerstone.

Practical details at a glance: parking is available in a large private lot behind the theater (historically about 300–350 spaces; today described as behind/southwest of the Hiland). ABQ RIDE serves the area with a stop in front of the Hiland, making public transit a convenient option for attendees. For those driving, consider nearby lodging such as Hotel Parq Central (806 Central Ave SE) and Hotel Andaluz (125 2nd St NW) for a short drive or walk. The Hiland’s Route 66 context is celebrated with local art, including the Reels and Wheels sculpture installed in front of the venue in 2016. Expect a diverse calendar featuring NDI New Mexico performances, youth and community programs, and occasional on-screen presentations like Santa Fe Opera events that have connected with the Hiland in recent years. For the most current show listings and accessibility information, check the venue’s official listings or partner publishers, and secure your seats early to ensure the best options for you.
