James Pinkston: Board Member

Sandia Performing Arts Company would like to announce our newest board member, James Pinkston! Jim Pinkston grew up in Albuquerque. His first brush with acting was as a second semester high school senior when he had to choose among electives; several upper- level math courses or Drama 101. Guess which one he chose?! Skip ahead until after he graduated from New Mexico State with a BA in Journalism and Mass Communications. Luck was with him to be cast in plays in Enid, Oklahoma, and the historic Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, South Carolina. He stepped off a stage in Honolulu in 1971 and back on again in 2018 as an original member of Albuquerque Little Theatre’s Silver Players and appeared in the group’s shows. In ALT’s major productions, he was in “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “Miracle on 34 th Street”, “Amadeus”, and “Father of the Bride”. Across town at the Adobe Theater, you might have seen him in “Shakespeare in Hollywood”, “Inherit the Wind”, and “The Red Velvet Cake War”. With Sandia Performing Arts Company, Jim took part in the ROY G BIV short play festival and has worked both sides of the camera in some of SPAC’s video projects.
