Hale Center Theatre - Gilbert Review

We have loved every performance we've seen at the Hale!

Such an amazing performance as always! We had a great time!

Great local theater company. They perform some of the classics and the more modern productions. The stage is surrounded by seating so you get a unique point of view everywhere.

Looking for that cozy theatre with a good line up of plays. I think you will like this one. It is small enough to appreciate young talent yet big enough to demonstrate good acting. Enjoy a show and explore the great choices of dining steps away.

Great theater in the round with very entertaining casts! The variety of musicals and plays is fantastic. There are talented actors and actresses and it is fun to see them in more than one show. The location in downtown Gilbert is wonderful with great restaurants within walking distance, and there is free parking right by the theatre.

This is a great life theater place and we enjoy many productions there.

A wonderful place to see a play. Both musicals and comedies. They have individual and season ticket sales options available. Seating is reserved and it is 360 degrees so every seat has an excellent view of the play. Intermission is at the half way point of each play and lasts for 15 minutes. Each play lasts approximately 2 hours.

Every play is better and better. Best thing in Downtown Gilbert

What can you say... Other than every play is incredible! This is our children's favorite date night with their parents!

We ve come here a few times over the years and have always had a great time. The shows are always well done, highly entertaining, and family friendly. The theater is in the round, so all seats are great and give an up close and personal view of the show. Even my kids, who don t normally enjoy musicals don t mind spending family time here. Highly recommend!

Graceful, small town, friendly, professional entertainment. Excellent prices and flexible services for season ticket holders. All possible confusion removed from choices in seating arrangements - purchasing greatly simplified. Customer satisfaction apparently high.

Loved Sound of Music, one of the best ever at Hale Theater. The singing was superb and the costumes beautifully made.

Lots of fun. Great family theater. Can't wait to see it after the remodel. We watched Newsies!

This is a great hometown local theater. If you are expecting high quality broadway-style plays oh, this is not the place for you. It is excellently put on and produced for the low budget and the shows they put on are popular plays. If you get a chance to go there take advantage of it and enjoy a good play.

Have been to 6 shows this year and each one memorable in their own way. The talent is superb and entertainment value high! They are so good you will want to see their shows more than once.

Such a fun show! The actresses were clearly having a great time and were interactive with the audience, I'd reccomend this place to anyone!

Every performance we have seen has been incredible. A Christmas Carol is my family's favorite AZ tradition. We usually see a few shows a year and there is honestly not a bad seat in the house!

We had a great time at a production of the Scarlett Pumpernel. The theater is cozy. Seating is close to the performance. Take a sweater. It got chilly. Parking is a challenge, so be there early.

I absolutely love the Hale theater. The productions are fantastic and so fun to attend. I'd highly recommend it to anyone!

The seating is comfortable. The accoustics are excellent. The productions are well acted and well directed. An overall fine evening out.

Love the experience of this intimate theater! Always impressed with the acting & singing talent, lots of great places to eat nearby! A wonderful night out!

Fantastic place, customer service was excellent, the show was awesome. We will be back to see Patsy Kline in January for sure, as well as the other shows coming up.

We saw Aida on closing night (July 1st). We've been coming there for years, and it was FANTASTIC!! The best performance I've seen there to date. The cast was amazing, the story-line was powerful and the musical numbers were beautiful and breathtaking! You could tell the production was well thought out, the casting was perfect, and their performance was flawless. Even my teenage daughter cried and said that was probably her favorite play so far. Thank you for another wonderful night!

intimate theater in the "round". Sound system excellent. cast outstanding in both plays we have seen.

We had a fabulous time seeing "A Christmas Carol" at a 5pm showing! The play was magnificent and I plan to go see it next year with just my husband. I was nervous taking a total of 15 children ages 8 to 12 with 5 adult chaperones to this play. However, I wanted to expose these girls to the arts. It turned out wonderfully! Hale theater was very accommodating to our large young group! Hale Theater s customer service was superb!

You get to be up front and personal from everywhere in the house

Aida was great. Believable actors, very good overall.

Love going here.....I'm there at least 4-6 times a year....all seats are wonderful.

Always professional and well done. Enjoyed Annie very much! My 6 year old was singing the songs two days later and wanted to see the play again! Reccomend Hale Theater to all my friends. Buying extra tickets for Singing in the Rain!

If you haven't been to the Hale, you need to go. As I read about local theaters closing, I worry about the outstanding service this theater provides. Excellent musicals and comedy. To Kill a Mockingbird was outstanding. It's a bargain! Try to attend a few shows, we don't want them closing down.

Newsies was terrific! The dancing was fantastic especially for the limited space on their theater in the round stage.

We just saw The Little Mermaid, and it was one of the best productions we've every seen. My entire family enjoyed it, but my little girl was ecstatic.

Not a bad seat in the house! Every play we have been to is fantastic!

Great entertainment! The shows are always top notch and the actors are excellent! Will return again and again!

One of the best theaters I have been too. A nice theater in the round. All seats have good visibility. And they always changing up the productions with more great shows

awesome show and very friendly people. Manager showed us to the elevator as we had a wheelchair with us.

Watched the play "Dear Ruth " with some friends. What a treat! Cute and funny and well done!! Its amazing what these professionals can do with their talents. Not my first play here and it certainly will not be my last!

Wonderful venue. Have seen 4 shows there now and all have been excellent

We saw Annie. There was great music there and good acting. A very enjoyable evening.

They spent there time and effort into the shows that they put on and each one is better then the last!

Outstanding performances! I'm always amazed at the talent on stage and how creatively the Hale uses its performance space. Further, this is an outstanding venue for value and quality shows. No wonder the seats sell out and the place is full at every performance.

Always enjoy the Hale. Tonight we saw "The Scarlet Pimpernel" and it was extra good! Great story, actors, and singing!

I have loved every single show I have seen here. The actors are phenomenal with props to match!

One of my favorite theatres. High quality shows at very reasonable prices.

First time here and it was fantastic! Great acting, beautiful venue! Worth the drive from North Scottsdale. Anytime a show has Alaina Beauloye involved make sure to see it!

Probably one of the best theatres in Phoenix. Productions are high-quality, family-appropriate and always employ the best talent in the area.

I am so glad I bought tickets for John loves Mary, it was such a good play, actors were amazing, so much fun. I sure hope we will see them again. If you come to Gilbert this place is a must!

We have seen most of the shows at Hale Theatre since it first came to Gilbert. We have been pleased or thrilled, and have truly enjoyed going nearly once a month most years. It is amazing the variety of shows that can be preformed in this theatre with seats all the way around and so close to the stage we often feel part of it. High quality acting, scenery, costumes and singing.

I have seen 2 performances at this amazing little theatre! Last night A Christmas Carol with Corey Mccloskey and it was fantastic. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating and the theatre is always well cleaned. So far I have not had a bad seat and does not seem you could get a bad seat. The performers are always great and skilled and I am always wowed by every show. Will be coming back here to see every performance I can!!

Intimate setting. Ashley Jackson's performance in Aida was phenomenal! The Dance of the Robes song was emotional and powerful. Great performance!

If you've been to other musicals, concerts, plays, dinner theaters, then you will be struck the moment you walk in at the small scale of the Hale Theater, which we LOVED. Not a bad seat in the place and every seat is close to the performance. The Hale has an intimate atmosphere which heightens the experience of the performance. But this is a review of not only the venue but also the show - A Christmas Carol. It was simply outstanding and seemed to be closer in professionalism, props, music, special effects to a big city venue than a small town production. And I HAVE to comment about the costumes - "over the top". I've been to enough low-budget theater where the costumes are a bit shabby, worn and tired. Not here. Obviously they poured a lot of money into costumes. Tickets are very pricey but based on all that I've just said, it just makes sense. This is not a low budget production. Also, the cast of A Christmas Carol was surprisingly large. Management controls how and when late-comers are seated, which I love. It minimizes distractions and interference. No alcoholic beverages are served here because they strictly adhere to their family oriented philosophy. They do serve snacks and drinks. We have family flying in next month and have reserved seats for an upcoming performance. I highly recommend the Hale for a truly different theater experience.

January 20. Attended another performance tonight - Always, Patsy Cline. Simply an outstanding production loaded with talent. Another fun time.

Always an awesome experience. Shows are spectacular, well produced & acted. Enjoy being close to the action!

I was laughing the entire time! Extremely talented cast, wonderful music and costumes, I would recommend this show to anyone!

Charming theatre in the round which gives every seat a personal experience. The action surrounds the audience causing you to turn in your seats to view activity behind you from time to time.

I've seen every play since The Scarlet Pimpernel. It never ceases to surprise me how beautiful the vocals are and how creative the performances are. The incorporation of the props and stage is amazing. I cannot wait for the outside construction to be done and for the next time I get to go to the theater.

Cute little theater! We saw Singin'in the Rain and the cast did an amazing job! Great performance guys! I wasn't sure how you would be able to do the scene where he is dancing and singing in the rain but you did great and I was really impressed!

Loved the play last night. A Christmas Carol never disappoints. The acting was great. This venue is very intimate.

COVID restrictions are in place. Only 36% capacity. Masks required at all times. Sanitation happens on all hand rails and touchable surfaces.

My family and I will be back for sure. Thank you to all the actors and the behind the scenes people, great show!!!

Enjoyed - A Sister Act.
Great and funny story,well done.
Love Hale Theater.

Awesome little theater. Saw a great performance of A Christmas Carol.

The theater is so intimate and the talent so amazing I can not overstate what a good time we had!!!!

What a gem of a theater - 350 seats in the round, great talent, terrific setting, costumes, and effects. Not just a community theater but a community treasure. Have only missed a few shows since we moved here 10 years ago.

Comfortable and convenient seating--makes you feel a little more involved in the show. We saw west side story and for the most part enjoyed the acting. Singing talent was great and inspiring. Hoping to go back again soon.

We have been season ticket holders at The Hale Theater for a couple of years. We have enjoyed seeing several plays during this time. We've never had a disappointing performance. Always top notch.

Fabulous place to see live plays and musicals. They always do as fantastic job. Just saw Newsies there and it was phenomenal! Always worth it!

I always love the shows I've been to here. This is about all I splurge on. It's the best kept secret of the valley!

What a wonderful, WOW experience! Very impressed!..very through, professional,...we came with Bonita Vista Park to, The Christmas Carol...can't say enough good things...

HOLY COW. Fantastic singing and acting. Insanely high production quality. Tons of remarkable costumes, props, set designs, lighting effects, and audio effects. The whole thing blew my mind away from the time I walked in until the time I left. Truly unforgettable.
Also, all the seats are comfortable and provide quality visibility, and the show I saw was perfectly family friendly.

This is such a quaint and charming theatre. My husband and I saw a play here recently and we're really impressed by the venue, the show and the prices. It's well worth a visit.

Watched a Christmas Carol today, was a fantastic production, and a great cast! The theater in the round setting is a wonderful and intimate experience. Highly recommend!

A unique venue!! Not a bad seat in the house! Excellent sound and staging so you can see the actor's faces and expressions.

Wonderful and actors and the timing was terrific. Loved the play.

Just came back from their production of "A Christmas Carol" and I'm still entranced by the experience. There's something delightfully intimate about the stage layout and seating, definitely worth coming by to catch a show every now and then.

Love this place! Quality shows that don't cost a fortune!

My family really enjoys the shows at this venue! Very entertaining and not a bad seat in the house!
