Our daughter gave the tickets to program as gift for our visiting granddaughter. Very nice building we enjoyed the program. Plan to go there again
While many avoid downtown Mesa, due to traffic, congestion, and light rail construction, after hours it quiets. Indeed a pleasure to wander safe streets, visit the eateries, and take in art and entertainment. All within a easy hike to ample parking. A great not so small city.RTinAZ
We have been to several National Geographic presentations there and have really appreciated the layout of the structure and the fine acoustics. We were spoiled by superb theaters in D.C. and I can honestly say Mesa Arts Center can compete with any of them.
I have recently attended at least four events at MAC and the lighting and sound on the stage is always professional. The auditoriums are not too big so all seats have a great view. The box office is fast and efficient and the building itself is very interesting to explore. Highly recommend.
very modern and enjoyable place to visit and attend various festivals and performances. A year round activities attraction
The Mesa Arts Center is a world class facility. The Ikeda Theater is truly as good as any anywhere in the world. The acoustics are superb. Back row highest balcony can hear without amplification. You will have an experience you will not forget! I have attended numerous events at the MAC and have never come away thinking anything but great thoughts about the venue. Literally as good as it gets.
Attended a concert there and we were very impressed. Excellent facilities. We can't wait to go again.
Three of us went to see the Sheng Yung performance. We had a 93 hr old with us and unfortunately tree is no place to St while waiting for the doors to open at our particular tester. The ushers do NOT open the door a minute before they are supposed to. There was a $5.00 fee to park and no place to park up close unless you have an ADA sticker. The performance was amazing! The combination of dance, music, A/V imagery and narration in Mandarin and English was surprising but extremely enjoyable. The theater was rather empty, but it may have been because of the ticket prices or because this was the second evening. It is well worth the price.
Jazz quartet performed for a couple of hours. Staff very helpful. Parking spot easy to find close by on the street. Seating was comfortable. Acoustics excellent. This venue also has classes for all kinds of artistic activities. We were impressed with the quality of the performance and the commitment of the Center to educational opportunities for all ages.
Every time I've seen a show here, they are great. The performances are amazing and the staff is friendly and organized. The grounds are nicely kept and the drink prices aren't too bad. Don't miss a show here if you're in the neighborhood!
