As the founder of Sing Your Style Studio, with voice studios across different cities, I’ve had the privilege of hosting numerous showcase performances at the Phoenix Performing Arts Center over the years, and I can truly say it’s been my **best experience** at any stage or venue in the valley. From the moment we worked with their staff, it was clear that they made an extraordinary difference — the stage management, sound quality, and overall professionalism were absolutely superb. Their team’s dedication to excellence transformed what could have been just an event into a memorable, high-quality experience. We’ve hosted performances for clients of all ages—mostly adults, along with a few talented young children—and every event was seamless, inspiring, and full of energy. I can’t say enough good things about this venue. Working with the Phoenix Performing Arts Center truly elevated our performances, and I look forward to many more stage events to come !
We saw the Edgar Allen Poe show. The actors were really great. Even our hesitant husbands enjoyed it. Really fun afternoon.
Wonderful performance. The actors were very engaging and brought some humor to the stage between acting out 4 of Poe's famous poems! Great cocktails, too! I'd go to this show everytime it's happening in a city I'm in!
Came tonight for the Edgar Allan Poe speakeasy event such a fun time reviews of drinks in my photos ! I liked how easily reachable they were and how clean for how small the venue was had a great time and Audience was quiet and behaved wanna come for the part 3 !
Friendly and knowledgeable staff and we did a few events this year (2025). They can accomplish up to 120 people I think and the rates are pretty good for both profit and non-profit organizations. The sound and lights are perfect for a drama, small scale concerts, presentations, rehearsals, etc. A huge parking lot, green room, restrooms, good enough space for registration desk when needed. Sorry to highlight it but sometimes the homeless folks from the street enter the hall without performing and there is no security, so you have to manage that part on your own especially when you have kids and seniors with you. All in all, a good and budget friendly place to host your events. Advanced booking highly recommended.
