About the Production
The seed of this original production was sown in 2005 when I was shopping for a violin bow for my production of Einstein: A Stage Portrait. I was in Robertson & Sons Violin Shop in Albuquerque and speaking with one of the sons when he mentioned they were repairing one of Einstein’s violins. He asked if I’d like to see it. Of course, I said, “yes!” The violin was in pieces and looked rather ordinary. But, I learned that Einstein had not only made simple repairs to his violin, but had also left behind a tidbit of his sense of humor. ~TS
The Story
Accompanied by his favorite classical music, Einstein begins to repair his precious violin, ’Lina.’ All the while he talks to a soon to be revealed muse about his love for music and its influence on his life and work. Through Einstein’s words and the beautiful precision of a classical music we celebrate the coming together of art, science, and love.
“I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music…I get (the) most joy in life out of music.” Albert Einstein
The Times
Enormous changes in the world were taking place during Einstein’s formative and most productive years influencing both his work and his view of the world. During the early to mid-20th Century an explosive evolution and experimentation in art, science, literature, politics, architecture, philosophy, and technology began to take place. Once thought of as a revolutionary, Einstein slowly became the ‘old guard’ of scientific advancement, butting heads with the developers of quantum mechanics as he continued to search for the elusive unified field theory of everything. It is against this backdrop that we see Albert Einstein search for answers through the solace of his music.
Thomas Schuch is a native of Los Alamos, New Mexico, and began his formal acting training at the University of Washington, a national leader in theater training. After getting his B.A. in Drama, Mr. Schuch continued his studies at the Harvey Lembeck Comedy Improv Workshop in L.A. He then returned to Albuquerque and helped found two regional performance troupes; Surely You Jest (comedy improv) and Shakespeare-On-The-Halfshell.
Mr. Schuch has appeared in numerous films and TV series including Blood Thinner Than Water (written and directed by Alan Arkin), Five Dollars a Day, Mall Cop, Doubting Thomas, Better Call Saul, Manhattan, In Plain Sight, Wildfire, Longmire, and The Night Shift, as well as many national and regional commercials, and more than sixty plays. A leader in the New Mexico performing arts community and a member of Actors Equity Association, Mr. Schuch is a founding member of Albuquerque’s innovative Mother Road Theatre Company, where he served as Board President and Director of Marketing in addition to performing in The Weir, Memory of Water, The Seafarer, The Illusion, and other Mother Road productions. He now sits on the board of q-Staff Theatre and is the 1st Vice President of the SAG-AFTRA NM Local.
Through his own company, Spoli Productions International, LLC, Tom has been performing and producing the award winning, one-man show Einstein: A Stage Portrait internationally since 2001. From Albuquerque to Bangalore, India Tom has presented his Einstein Live! STEM/STEAM programming for prestigious science organizations, universities, general audiences, and schools K-12.

Mystery Highway: VAMP
2022-07-02 19:30 - 21:30 | q-Staff theatre, 400 Broadway Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM, 87102, United States
Local Creative Community Premieres Audacious Mockumentary
Set Entirely in Downtown Albuquerque
• VAMP: an irreverent comedy about a haunted community theater
• July 2, 7:30 pm
• Screening at q-Staﬀ Theatre
• All tickets $20. Tickets available in advance at bosquecsl.org
The Plot: Venerable Albuquerque theater troupe, the ViVa Players, has been beset with
challenges — changing audience tastes, bi!er internal squabbles, and a global pandemic. Now, a
ruthless developer wants to bulldoze the ViVa Playhouse to erect a digital post-production studio
and laser tag arena.
In a last ditch eﬀort to save the historic building, passionate and tyrannical director Toto
Pendragon plans a bold adaptation, “North Valley of the Dolls,” representing a gri!y new direction
for the company…
Perhaps it should be no surprise that the spirits are restless. This time, however, the ghosts are
diﬀerent, maybe even dangerous. Could it be that the ghost of tv legend and Albuquerque
sweetheart (and ViVa namesake & ﬁgurehead), Vivian Vance, herself, has come to the reckoning?
Television’s Mystery Highway and host Dax Colossal return to New Mexico to investigate.
Wri!en collaboratively by a group of 12, directed by Drew Groves, and featuring outrageous
characterizations from more than 2 dozen local performers, VAMP is a bawdy satire on a
shoestring budget. If John Waters and Christopher Guest had a baby, she might throw a tantrum about it.

Anatomica
2024-07-19 20:00 - 22:00 | q-Staff theatre, 400 Broadway Blvd SE, Albuquerque, NM, 87102, United States
ANATOMICA:
International Comedian & Weird-Lil’-Gremlin, Amica Hunter (they/them), returns to their home town for a one night only performance of their award winning solo solo comedy show. ANATOMICA is a hilarious, captivating, and sometimes-unsettling-comedy about skeletons, and the horrors of living in a body. ANATOMICA is an intimate, unpredictable exploration of pain, zoology, & collective imagination. Every animal has a skeleton – But which biological structural system is the BEST? With candidness and a comfortably casual tone, Amica reviews the three skeletal systems found in earthly organisms and discusses the limitations of each one. What would it be like to inhabit a body completely alien from our classic human form? A gloriously deranged Ted-Talk by a wanna-be-scientist clown school graduate. Part stand-up, part storytelling, and part clown, ANATOMICA is an investigation of the inadequacies of different animal body models, and a celebration of the absurdity of being trapped in a body that is limited by pain, fatigue, and ultimately decay. But, you know, make it fun!

Doors at 7:30pm, Show at 8:00pm. 75 min long, no intermission, PG-13

Praise for ANATOMICA:
“Anatomica is an hour of chewy, fleshy charm. Amica Hunter’s stand-up set disguised as a serious science lesson is like the mutant love child of Laurie Anderson and David Attenborough” ★★★★★ -Fish Griwkowsky, The Edmonton Journal
“Anatomica is a kick in the pants that delightfully reflects the roots of alternative performance.” – Mallory Moad, Kings River Life Magazine“Weirdly captivating solo comedy…category-resistant brilliance…” – Liz Nichols, 12thNight.ca
“Masterfully done” – Murray Hunter, Jenny Revue

About the Artist:
Amica Hunter (they/them) is your basic multi-layered mammalian organism – a creaking calcium scaffolding, wrapped in wet pulsing blood tubes and layers of raw meat, all dipped in a skin coating and rolled in hair – like some sort of effed up, sentient, caramel apple. Amica grew up in Albuquerque, moved to Portland, OR after graduating high school, and promptly dropped out of college to attend clown school at the San Francisco Circus Center. They have been creating, performing, and touring physical comedy shows ever since. Amica co-founded the 20x award winning physical comedy duo, A Little Bit Off, which created and toured shows around the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand from 2013 to 2022.

seaMAN: a wacky nautical horror comedy takes the stage at q-Staff!
An all new production from award-winning queer theatermakers Amica Hunter & Bruce Ryan Costella

seaMAN – A Queer Nautical Comedy!
By 2 Sleepy RatGuys (Amica Hunter & Bruce Ryan Costella)The spray of sea salt, the creak of the boards, a flash of lightning, and BOOM! Captain Sea MAN has arrived! This show is a whirlwind of revenge-fueled sea-venture combining outrageous physical comedy with a few dark twists and turns. Alternately played by two actors, it’s a one-man-show by two featuring the saltiest sailor to ever set sail on the several seas. Prepare yourself for a hilarious on-stage scenic boat tour that promises fishing, the ocean breeze … and SO much more. seaMAN is a sweet & salty theatrical concoction that is as stupid as it is smart. Like the illegitimate love child of Gilligan’s Island and Robert Eggers’ The Lighthouse.

Doors at 7:30pm, Show at 8:00pm. 60 min long, no intermission, NC-17

“Professionally ridiculous” – The Sappy Critic
“It’s strange. It’s funny. […] That’s what makes it so good.” – Kings River Life MagazineAbout the Artists:2 Sleepy RatGuysis the cross-country collaboration of queer theatre-makers Amica Hunter (they/them) based in Portland, OR, & Bruce Ryan Costella (he/they) from Orlando, FL. The two met while touring separate solo shows on the Fringe theater festival circuit, and formed an instant friendship. With a combined 30 years of experience touring original work on the fringe, and a mutual admiration for each other’s work, they decided to team up. Bruce’s skill for nuanced clever text easily melds with Amica’s physical comedy training and bizarre humor to create absurd, campy, dark, and comedic theatrical babies (shows) like nothing you’ve seen before!

Dwelling: an Immersive Performance Event
2025-06-21 20:00 - 22:00
Dwelling: an Immersive Performance Event at q-Staff Theatre
Albuquerque, NM – Dwelling is a one-night-only immersive performance event created
collaboratively by a group of local artists as part of an international project exploring themes of
home and belonging. Taking place on Saturday, June 21 at 8:00 PM, artists will transform q-Staff
Theater into a living room cafe where scenes, sounds, storytelling, and images unfold all around
them.
Born out of an intensive week-long group collaboration, Dwelling asks: What, who, where is
home, and why is it that way? “Home is one of those words that gets thrown around a lot,” said
Tara Khozein, one of the project’s co-leaders, “but we are often thinking of completely different
things when we say it. Some people think of a building, others think of a feeling, others think of
a person. It makes us ask ourselves where we come from and what makes us feel safe.”
The performance features contributions from an interdisciplinary group of local artists and
educators including: Diana Delgado, Marisa DeMarco, Esther Elia, Kat Kinnick, Mariel Leon
Lazcano, Zahra Marwan, Aziza Murray, Hope Orange, Graham Parker Ransell, Rich Van
Schouwen, Nick Tauro, and Sandy Timmerman.
Over a week of collective work, the artists will create pieces individually and collaboratively that
emerge from these themes including: How do you create home; leaving home: travel &
migration; eviction, statelessness, and deportation; chosen home, chosen family, and banding
together; who makes you feel at home; being a stranger in a society; sanctuary
Dwelling is a project under the leadership of New Mexico-raised classical singer and theater
artist Tara Khozein and Hungarian director Martin Boross of Promenade: Albuquerque. Boross
shared a more personal perspective: “In the past years, my personal and political definitions of
home have become less stable. As someone who’s had to leave my home country, Hungary, and
as an artist who often works with people who live in precarity, the question of what makes a
place feel like home has become urgent.”
The performance is presented in collaboration with q-Staff Theatre, where the artists invite the
public to dwell on what it is we call home.
