Tempe Center for the Arts Reviews

If one wants to taste Civilization at its finest attend a chamber music concert at the TCA.

Tranquil,Relaxing,I love the Patio in the Evening,With Waterfall.

Romeo Y Julieta Siglo 21. Estuvo muy bonito el show! The play we saw was beautiful and the views at the theatre are so serene. I'm excited to come back and see more plays!!!

Beautiful venue, beautiful art work, beautiful all the way around. Right now, there is construction so you have to park away. But there temporary parking lot was well lit, had multiple security guards, and offered rides to and from the venue. We saw VoicePlay tonight and they were amazing. The staff was so nice and helpful, the jazz band playing before the theater opened was amazing, all in all it was a really good experience.

Lovely venue. Pretty restroom. Cute small shop. Outside lounge with view of the lake and bridge. Comfortable seating and good acoustics

Easy access from the freeway and a great place to hold an event.

This is a superb 5 Star facility with wonderful shows. We saw the Tempe Symphony tonight . Free and magnificent.

The parking however is a challenge. They destroyed the nice paved adjacent parking lot to build a new building. Parking now is an awful gravel lot nearly a half mile from the TCA. Sure there are buses to shuttle people, but that adds time and discomfort to the visit. We walked to the lot after the show as the shuttle was no where to be seen. Almost we're run into by a skate boarder.

I don't know what their long term plans but for the present go early and be prepared to put up with lots of dust on your car and a long walk.

But the show was worth it

Good event place, even if a bit small. They could really use a good anchor restaurant.

Very nice venue, the event was also great (Carmen Lundy)

Stopped by for a play, nice intimate theater, great tickets prices. They have a bar with different happy hour events, tonight's was a jazz trio. Will stop by again.

Lovely place!!! Amazing views and well air conditioned

Really great facility to see a show. It's got a beautiful patio that looks over the river. I recommend the EDGE series. It's free concerts of all types with food and drink you for purchase.

Great venue and until tonight I had nothing but good to say.
During the intermission we took kids to the little snack & drink bar. There were 2 little girls in front of us, first in line. They stepped up to the counter to see the choices, just past a sign that said, "line starts here" And that idiot behind the counter went full Soup Nazi. He wouldn't wait on them till the went back into the line, behind the sign. Of course they were confused and went to the end, several back. He called us to be next and in the moment my mind was processing what I saw, so we just stepped forward to be served. I should have made him wait on them first. What a dick.

Beautiful illuminated walkways at night, excellent place for a night run

Handicap parking is too far from the building in fact it was head and I had to park in the regular lot and walk that long way so I was in pain throughout the concert

Fabulous show "48th Strret". The theater was beautiful and friendly staff.

Currently parking is horrible, but everything else was wonderful!

One of the best kept secrets in Tempe. Well worth the visit to see the art and architecture.

Great place to check out art or music or food I like sitting on the balcony

The show was EXCELLENT! The parking and customer service was horrible. Had to park half a mile away and then get shuttled in the rain all the way to the theater. There was no covering going to the theater so then you got to the theater and soaking wet. I asked for some paper towels to dry off and they said just have a seat and we will bring some to help dry you off. They never change so sat through the entire show soaking wet. I was told that I had VIP seating but was exported to the balcony. And told there are no VIP Seasons here. however there were several seats saved in the front for other people.

This is the place where I turn around and start the way back on my 13 mile ride.

Enjoyed children's play with friends and family. Nice venue.

Beautiful place inside and out. Truly breath taking.

Went on field trip. Great experience for younger audiences to get to see a play.

Tempe Center for the Arts is a great place to go see a performance and support the local theaters in Arizona. My son's just performed for actors youth theater in the production Newsies. The people were friendly, cocktails were excellent and it was an amazing time.

Unique you have fun as a child the water is delicious

Beautiful bridge in the back took a few photos even though I didn't look my best! I wanted to capture this beautiful location!

Our school had their graduation there. It was perfect.

It's the best arts center in the valley. It's much more than a few stages, with art classes for kids and adults in a new facility across the street.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a bar! We enjoyed A Christmas Carol, and our seats were great!

Very impressed, love its location on the river and the views, we were there at night I'm interested to see it day time too, nice bar in the lobby on the river.

The place was clean and inviting. The people we're very helpful with any questions that I had and was not left wandering around.

Attended an event hosted here. Beautiful building and location.

Beautiful Contemporary venue. I attended a conference here and the catering was done extremely well. I went out of my way to compliment the coffee cart set-up to the individual managing that area. A school group with A LOT of little kids came through and they seemed genuinely happy to have them.

So beautiful and romantic for couples and family,the lights on the bridge is a treat....

Lovely little place! The parking is a bit cluttered but I'm sure they'll fix that eventually with the new garage going in.

Nice to see patrons participating in some paint therapy... Different artistic expressions... Looking forward to going to theatre n listen to opera or orchestra in the future...

I was very encouraged to donate blood and the person who injected me with the gringa missed the location of the vein and the blood did not flow correctly, causing 4 people to try to correct the problem by moving the needle inside my arm and injuring me. I am very afraid of needles, however I make an effort every year 3 times and this happens to me. I believe that I will not return to donate MORE.

Beautiful building, awesome view of Tempe Town Lake.

Absolutely amazing! Came for the "Flora & Ulysses" play, and was so incredibly pleased! The theatre is very very nice! And te show was just a triumph in children's theatre! Would come see this performance over and over and over again!

Beautiful historic and always in point can not wait for more restaurant s and businesses but the tranquility and excitement of the place won't stop

Beautiful theater, no onsite parking, only off site.

Beautiful theatre and they hosted the Banff Film Festival. Love them for this. Use the free parking and trolley if possible. Or bike there (they have racks)

AC was either broken or management was trying to save money. VERY uncomfortable

Decent. Not much to say. Been there several times. Not spectacular in either direction.

An awe inspiring building with some of the most amazing views in the valley.

Gr8 scenery and lots to do. Well kept n plenty of parking.

I've enjoyed numerous events here, really snazzy and intimate

Gorgeous venue, intimate in a weirdly removed sort of way.

Lasting memories, and a great performance with awesome seats looking into the opera pit from birds eye view. I experienced "A Christmas Carol" in a new way. WOW- is how I felt seeing both the stage and opera together.

Lovely performing arts facility on Tempe Town Lake. Parking is a little awkward at the moment due to adjacent construction as Tempe stuffs in buildings along the lake. But a nice stroll along the lake from the temporary parking lot and they have a golf cart shuttle as well.

We saw Detroit, a play about the 60s race violence (cops v. Blacks) and the impact on one middle class family. Well done in the smaller theater. Good acting. Beverage service available in the lobby with small snacks.

Road construction made it difficult to get there. Shuttle from a distance off was helpful, and a delay in starting the performance helped. Leave extra time.

Wonderful events in a beautifully designed place. I couldnt speak higher of this place. I would say it is a little smaller on the inside than one would imagine, given there are separate venues within.

Enjoyed a Simrit concert here. The facility is breathtaking
