The Lensic Theater, located at 211 West San Francisco Street in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is an 821 seat theater designed by Boller Brothers of Kansas City, well known movie theater and vaudeville house architects who designed almost one hundred theaters throughout the West and mid-West, including the KiMo Theater in Albuquerque. The pseudo-Moorish, Spanish Renaissance Lensic was built by Nathan Salmon and E. John Greer and opened on 24 June 1931. Its name derives from the initials of Greer's six grandchildren.
The Lensic was completely restored and renovated between 1999 and 2001, and provides Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico with a modern venue for the performing arts.

2. Seahawks. The loss of wide receiver Percy Harvin certainly hurts. But that means the Seahawks and 49ers merely are even in the top-receiver-injury category as they vie for supremacy in the NFC West and the entire league.
3. Broncos. The clock is ticking for Peyton Manning as he tries to secure a second Super Bowl triumph. But the addition of Wes Welker gives him a great chance.
4. Falcons. They showed last season they can win a playoff game. There’s plenty of talent on hand for them to take the next step and be a Super Bowl team, but there’s also plenty of competition in the upper tier of NFC contenders.
5. Bengals. Relatively quietly, they have assembled a team that can compete with anyone in the AFC. And with the losses suffered by the Ravens, the Bengals should be regarded as the AFC North favorite.
6. Patriots. Yes, there are major questions about the quality of Tom Brady’s receivers. But he generally has found ways to make things work in the past even when he’s been without overwhelmingly talented supporting casts.
7. Packers. They remain the team to beat in the NFC North but the Vikings could be right on their heels.
9. Ravens. They had an offseason of heavy losses after their Super Bowl victory and now they suffer the indignity of having to open the season on the road, thanks to a scheduling conflict with the Orioles that even the NFL’s muscle-flexing couldn’t resolve. Joe Flacco will have to step up his game and become as productive during the regular season as he is during the postseason. But they’re still the champs, until proven otherwise.
10. Saints. Few are talking about the Saints as a top contender. But Coach Sean Payton is back and the cloud of the bounty scandal that hovered over the team all of last season finally has dissipated.
