Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Fountain Theater's history is as captivating as its architecture. Although it had been in the family since 1873, it wasn't until 1905 that Albert Fountain Jr. bought the theater building and used it to entertain the residents of La Mesilla with plays, lantern shows, light opera, and other shows.

Over time, the building was modified to play films and for many years Albert and his family would add live music to the films, include Spanish subtitle cards, and play and sing when the projector broke down. Now, visitors can go see the renovated Fountain Theater and revel in its amazing architecture and history while enjoying a show with the family.
