The auditorium is the perfect size so all can have a decent view of what they came here to see. Many different schools have functions here. Your going to want to use the parking off of Recker unless your an hour early since the parking lot off of Pecos is always full. Have fun.

Its a nice auditorium, well laid out and intimate, bringing you in close to the stage. Sound is good, no weirdness there. The only dings are the restrooms are in one corner of the lobby next to the snack bar and it becomes a huge traffic jam at intermission. Also parking is limited close to the venue, though theres plenty more a short walk away. Altogether a great place perfectly located.

This was my first experience here. I worried when i arrived that this was a high school auditorium. Inside was a very pleasant surprise. Any where you sit is a great seat. Parking seemed easy. The sound system was refreshingly suitable. This venue has a beautiful and spacious greeting area before entering the theater.

Attended a concert event there. For a small town high school, the venue was very impressive. The main theatre has a HUGE stage! Intimate seating. No nosebleed sections. Theres also a smaller theater quite aptly called the Little theatre. Decent concession stand. No alcohol served, at least not at the event I attended. Family friendly venue.

Excellent venue, far better than I expected from Higley. Good acoustics and reasonably comfy seats. Im not sure that there is a bad seat in the house. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I always enjoy myself there.

Excellent theater! Great location and awesome acoustics. Ive been here several times for either plays for my daughters or some other dance recitals. Great place. Best tip is to park in the student parking at the back and then walk to the front. It is easier to get in and out through there.

Went to see Peter Noone. Great show as always. The venue is a great place to see a concert. Plenty of room. Dont feel cramed in a seat like many venues.

Review №27

Beautiful performance stage. The lighting was great and the stage was easily views from every angle of the seating area. I sat all the way in the back, by choice, and could easily spot my little star of the show. For a performing arts center building based on a high school campus I was impressed.

Enjoyed it very much. My wife is in a wheelchair and the accommodations were great for her. The theater seats could be a little more comfortable but then maybe I always want a little bit more.

Went to the Hotel California Tribute to the Eagles last night. Wow what a great performance! The venue was awesome.. not so big you felt it was hard to see and I will come back to see this show ANY time it’s in Arizona. It sounded like there are a lot of really great shows here so maybe season ticket holder in my future?? Anyway loved the show, loved the venue.

Nice event space. Layout works well for many purposes. I have been there many times for my daughters dance competitions. There are places for the parents to wait around in between rounds. The backstage area is well laid out as well.

Review №35

It was great! The venue was ordinary, but the Oakridge Boys Concert was fantastic. They are getting up there in age but it has not affected their entertainment value! And their special guest was Chuck Yeager on his ninety sixth birthday. He was an Air Force pilot who set many speed records. The whole show was a real treat. The fact that we had second row seats didnt hurt anything either! Good fun!

I went to this place for my sons high school graduation, it was good. This place has parking lots on both sides of the center but you have to go out on main road to from front to back side. They should do something to display parking lot full signs

Br
Review №37

Parking for this venue is terrible. Even with multiple parking lots there are insufficient spaces and finding parking is a frustrating challenge. As a music venue, its a nice little intimate theater with good sound and comfortable seating. With better parking options, would be. 5 star rating.

We attended my daughters graduation for her Associates degree in Veterinary technician. The facilities were clean, had ample room for a large crowd and not to difficult of a time finding parking, although some had to park in the back of the venue. The acoustics and sound system were good. There was handicap parking and a large ramp for wheelchairs, so no elevators were needed. We did not use the restrooms, so cannot evaluate that part of the facility.

Saw a play here. Nice venue. Clean, up to date, easy access for all levels of mobility. Excellent sound, lighting off the hook, even a snow machine. May have belonged to the theater company? Anyway, this was my second event here. 1st was a symphony. Easy access to parking and lots of it. It is a part of higley high school. Great use of resources for the community.

This Performing Arts Center is one of several in the SE valley. The seating is tiered so that viewing the stage is usually unobstructed...that is unless you have an exceptionally tall person in front of you, or one with an exceptionally large hairdo. Restrooms are off the front lobby. They are clean and well kept. There are ramps for handicapped patrons and specific seating for them also. Acoustics are good.
