2026 marks the semi-quincentennial — the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence — and Tri-M Productions is celebrating in style! We’re bringing you a spectacular revue of songs that honors:

•       The founding of our democratic republic, drawn from the greatest musicals of the American stage

•       The rich Latino and New Mexican heritage that helped shape the culture of this country

•       The vibrant diversity of people, lifestyles, and traditions that make our nation amazing

The show will include songs celebrating our independence (from Hamilton and 1776), our state (lead by our Children’s Chorus), and all the people of our country (with songs from West Side Story, Ragtime, La Cage Aux Foles, Wicked, In the Heights, and the recent Tony-Award-winning Suffs). It will feature fifteen of your favorite Tri-M stars — including Jessica Pacheco, Jason Martinez, Martín and Priscilla Chavez-Borjas, and Paul Ashby, moving from tender ballads like There’s a Place for Us from West Side Story to stirring anthems like Make Them Hear You from Ragtime, all wrapped in Tri-M’s signature eye-popping choreography. Rounding out the celebration: a children’s chorus performing Spanish folk songs, a Mariachi ensemble, exhilarating dance numbers, and a live wind ensemble — all backed by a full live pit band.

Performances: Friday evening, July 3 at 7:00 pm and Sunday afternoon, July 5 at 2:00 pm at the St. Francis Auditorium, New Mexico Museum of Art.

Directed by Marilyn Barnes, with music direction by Cora Harms. Choreography by Laura Orozco Garrett and Diana Orozco-Garrett.

Tickets: $40 (front), $20 (middle), $10 (back — also available at the door). Reserve yours now at www.trimsantafe.org.  We desire to create a tapestry that weaves us altogether, sending you out feeling restored and hopeful.
