Went to see my first play here. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the theater was just the right size. We ended up with front row seats and I personally wouldn't recommend it! I spent the entire play with my neck on fire and I couldn't see the folks on the back of the stage. If I were to go again, I would be no closer than the 3rd row back.
I am an actor, and I have worked in the theater there a couple of times, ( I was just there as an understudy last night) and I have been there as an audience member as well. It is beautiful! The scenic town lake is lovely, and the bar and gallery are a great way to pass time before your show begins. Backstage is wonderful. They are a pro establishment, it's pristine, there are several bathrooms, and the dressing rooms are spacious and include a bathroom with 2 stalls, 2 sinks, and a shower. There is a small lounge area, and the stage, lighting, and sound setups are fantastic. I feel very at ease there. There are 2 theatres within the center for live stage performances. One is large, and the other is about mid-size and provides a more intimate theatre experience. I love it there.
So far, I haven’t been to any of the shows, but they have a great lineup of theatre productions, and the free exhibit they offer is really neat. I love that there is a Starbucks inside and the view of the lake and the landscaping is so beautiful at sunset. There are cute rabbits outside, too.
Go see their current Gallery exhibition The Return of the Force there thru May 18. Excellent exhibit - the art & the inclusion of the space as part of the exhibit. Be sure to check out the restrooms - just, wow.
Just checked out the cool new and free Arizonan style Star awars exhibiton! If you’re a Star Wars fan, this exhibition at the Tempe Art Center is a must-see! The Arizonan twist on iconic characters and scenes is creative and refreshing. A fun, unique take on the galaxy we all love!
