Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

What a beautiful place! Such charm. Tucked away in the most convenient location just off Scottsdale Road. And what a place for music. Especially the cabaret that ASU Kerr provided a grant for. We all experienced a wonderful night of music provided by The Bridge Initiative.
This small but cozy cultural center has been visited by me many times for music concerts. Usually, the concerts I've been to were dimly lit with the center stage being the only thing that was bright. So, that makes it pretty cozy and gives the venue a warm, homely atmosphere. Seats in the center are limited due to the space, so if you want to sit there, you should probably go early. There is bench seating flanking one side of the stage and a balcony like area on the other. It's a small space, but the ambience is great. The sound permeates well throughout, so I've always enjoyed the musical concerts. I will definitely continue to attend many more concerts at this cozy venue.
Very nice venue, went to a wedding the staff did very well keeping things organized and on schedule. The only thing I'd say needed to be different was a bit more outside shade availability It was hard to see the ceremony while you stared into the sun.
A great location, hidden away off of Scottsdale Rd. that is ideal for private events. We had our monthly AZIMA (Arizona Innovation Marketing Association) event here where we brought in food (via food truck) and drinks and everything else was ideal for having a keynote speaker event. The place has lots of character, very intimate, and lots of seating options. The patio area and layout of the space is perfect for networking. This place is a great change up form the boring hotel conference room.
Very nice little theater. Very historic right down to the adobe bricks. Small and intimate seats.
