I've been here a few times over the years. Nice intimate theatre with really well done performances. I was at Gypsy this Sunday and loved it.

I have been along with my friends to several events at this Theatre and every time it has been a pleasing experienced, they offer good quality shows for a decent price.

Season ticket holder for at least 20 years. Great parking access, friendly volunteers and good actors. Just wish they would lower prices and bring some more contemporary shows in such as the Mamas and the Pappas. Yes that is contemporary for them. I am switching to Hale Theatre in Gilbert.

I went to see In the Wake of Bounty (part of Fringe Fest 2011) and besides the show being exquisite, the venue was perfect. Phoenix Little Theatre is basically attached to the Phoenix Art Museum which means you can stroll about in the little park area before the show. Take goofy pictures with the headless children statues and throw wishing pennies into the fountain overlooked by the uber masculine yet pensive sculpture.
Free and plentiful parking!!! The theatre is really intimate with a small stage and limited seating. With that being said... any seat would give a great view of the happenings on stage. Only downside is that the theatre chairs and my rear end did not get along amiably. Lots of fidgeting on my part and constant readjusting. -

I've been attending performances at The Phoenix Theatre for over 10-years now and was a season ticket holder for several years. My wife has been going nearly her whole life, her grandfather performed in plays and her mother is a current board member of the organization. As I was in town this past weekend, my in-laws got us tickets to see the current show, Avenue Q, which was great!
Over the years we have attended numerous shows including Chicago, Man of La Mancha, Fried Green Tomatoes, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, The Producers, Into the Woods, Arsenic and Old Lace, Picnic, and many others.
While its not the place to see experimental theater or cutting-edge new dramas, Phoenix Theatre presents a mix of familiar musicals and dramatic shows each season and does a great job with them. In fact many of the musicals are better than the touring Broadway shows that come to Gammage.
The theater itself is located in the Phoenix Art Museum complex, and while its not large, every seat in the house has a good view of the stage. Parking is free and readily available and with shows typically starting at 8:00 pm, its easy to get a nice bite to eat before the show.
Prices for shows are also reasonable and season tickets are a great deal for the amount of entertainment you receive.
In short, Phoenix is lucky to have a performing arts organization of this quality and I'd encourage anyone who likes live theater to be sure and check it out. -

My mom & I came here on Sunday to see Hairspray. We got an awesome deal on Groupon, two tickets for $45. This theatre is very tiny, pretty sure it's smaller than most school's auditoriums but that didn't take away from the production. Lighting & sound was great. We loved the show, too cute & great songs. It was pretty long too; started at 6:30pm, at 8:00pm had a 10-15 minute intermission, then ended around 9:00pm. The only negatives were that the seats weren't too comfy & the bathrooms were a lil dirty & smelled horrible. But besides that, I definitely recommend seeing Hairspray!
P.S. They announced that this was their 90th year, congrats! -

Last night was my first time in The Little Theater which is part of Phoenix Theater. I didn't see it on the list so I'm reviewing it here.
We saw Reefer Madness the musical! It was awesome! I couldn't stop laughing. The sound of the theater was excellent!
It was definitely small and the seats very uncomfortable.
They had snacks out during intermission. We bought two water bottles and I was happy to see them put a box out for recycling the water bottles and the soda cans. They also had a box out for recycling the programs once the play finished.
I will definitely see another play here! -

I went to the Phoenix Theatre yesterday for the 1st time and I truly loved every minute of it.
The Theatre itself is smaller than I expected and the stage is abnormally tiny- most High Schools have bigger auditoriums, but the scenes are setup so perfectly you truly forget how small the Theatre actually is.
I LOVE this place! I will go back again and again and not be ashamed to stand in the will call line to get tickets until I purchase my season tickets.
I am excited to look into the Children's Theatre productions that are put on in the little Theatre. I know my 6 year old will enjoy it as much as I enjoy the adult productions. -

Good parking for a downtown venue. I love walking in the sculpture garden of the art museum during intermission. They always put on very professional productions.

Saw Les Miz (5th or 6th time) and it was indeed something special in this truly wonderful theater with truly fantastic voices. The staging was awesome, the ambiance marvelous, the sound sytem spectacular, the enjoyment unsurpassed. Am signing for season tickets!

I went to see "Saving Tania's Privates" on 10/09/10. The Phoenix Little Theatre was a perfect venue for this event. Since the show had some delicate and poignant scenes, the small stage was perfect for showcasings these gems. Tania Katan is deserving of a purple heart for courage for her role as sole writer and performer of this fact based phenomenon. The theatre is small and intimate, ensuring there are no "bad seats" in the house.
