I was here for my aunts wedding. The staff was amazing, the center is beautiful and the windows are so cool! The staff was very nice when we came the day before to set stuff up. This was the first wedding they hosted and they did a great job! I can only imagine how each wedding after this one will get better and better. 10/10 recommend for any and every event!

What a great venue! The newer parking garage was nice and very close to the theatre. Easy to find your seat but there was also plenty of staff around. Seats were nice and clean. Good atmosphere. Loved the show! Would attend here again.

This facility is beyond amazing. Leveled parking structure, they do have an elevator. Great Acoustics in the theater, lighting and seating as well. Very clean restrooms. One of the best places to enjoy the arts performed by loved ones.

We saw the Nutcracker Swing. The program was superb. The dancers were great and the music wasnt too loud (an irritation at other venues). Thank you to Vet Tix for offering this event. I was there as a guest of two veterans.

First time there. Many great elements to this facility including lots of nearby underground parking. Comfy seats and good sound/video in the theater. Hope it thrives and allows many artists to be featured there for years to come. Lobby area was noisy, a bit hard to hear with all the echoes of many excited visitors speaking at once.

It wasnt the place as much as it was the band, the red hot chili Pipers. And no, they werent a red hot chili peppers tribute band. In fact they were mostly a cover band group. However, they played every song including the rascist song Amazing Grace. But, not one red-hot chilli peppers song. How do you have the nerve to call yourselves the red hot chili Pipers and not even cover one single red-hot chili peppers song?! The only songs I thought were decent were the more traditional Scottish songs that were instrumental. Those were beautiful to listen to. However, bagpipes injected into classic cover songs dont fit well together unless its that one ACDC song. But, kudos for them trying something different. It just didnt hit the mark in my opinion. And remember this is all just my opinion. You might be into bagpipe cover band music. Im just not.

Great new place. Parking garage is nice and easy to navigate. Easy walk in. Place was plenty big to host all of the 7 first grade classes on stage and their families in the audience.

Lovely venue -- I attended the Voices Of The Desert concert here. The theater in lobby where immaculate, and they have a parking structure which is very accessible to the venue. We didnt realize it was a high school auditorium before we got there so it wasnt as easy to find as we had anticipated, however it didnt take long to realize where to go in.

I recommend the MTA talent show. Good luck getting tickets to see Rocco the 4th grade magician! Place sells out in minutes! Actually the show is free but I do recommend making children soon and enrolling them at MTA so you can see Rocco before he leaves MTA!

A beautiful venue with incredible sound quality made my evening here one I dont think I could ever forget. From the front entrance to the bathrooms, this place was immaculate. I will definitely be keeping and eye on upcoming events here, as I would love to return to it. Special thanks to all the staff who help make this such an amazing experience for everybody.

New, Impressive facility. Saw multiple choral groups perform. Well appointed, new, clean. Well suited to stage send choral. Must seat well over a thousand. Sizeable performance auditorium. Small choral groups or those without big sound and powerful voices may not present as well.Note re the mens room: even urinals in individual private stalls.

A great Central Phoenix venue to see shows. It helps raise money for the Madisin school district which is an added bonus.

Lovely facility, comfortable seats with a bit more than normal leg room. Staff is quite helpful. The Ballet seemed reasonably priced for the quality of the production.

It is a very beautiful facility. I have been here a few times to observe Madison #1 concert choir and orchestra. However, I attended an 8th grade promotion and there was very limited seating for such an important event. Only imediate family (no more than four) could fit.

Beautiful building for the the school district. Parking was an absolute wreck though. No way the parking structure is sufficient to seat as many people as the auditorium can handle. I was forced to drop off family then park across 16th street and try to dodge traffic to get back for an 8th grade graduation.

If I could rate a negative star, I would. Are you kidding me? Meadows graduation and Park was 2 hours before, that parking garage is ridiculous. Not to mention the way the tickets were--to go online to get 4 tickets like I was going to a concert! Every ticket in the orchestra section was gone by noon, as if some major band was playing! Then lets talk about the transition glass in the west side of the building...what a MASSIVE waste of money the taxpayers paid to the Madison school district! Wow! 8th grade graduation is not an accomplishment. Its expected. Who doesnt graduate 8th grade? Way to go Madison. Way to go taxpayer bond money. I will never go to this place unless its required, like for a graduation.

This is a beautiful venue, but sight lines sadly lacking. Seems that the slant of the main floor does little to help people in the audience see over the person directly in front of them. I cant imagine going there to see (or not) a play.

I was stunned to hear one of the venue staff members Jason, repeatedly make rude, condescending comments about the couple getting married there and their guests, vendors, and to colleagues of the theatre.
