We went to see The Garbologists last weekend and had a great time. The place is in a residential…read moreneighborhood, so definitely put it into your GPS. Also, there is not a lot of parking so be prepared to take a stroll from your car to the theater. The first thing we noticed was the staff was very welcoming and friendly - they do a nice job of greeting you and getting you to your seats. The venue is very intimate, and they leverage that by getting the guests to greet the people around them. We liked the timing/length of performance: 7:30 to 9:00. We had plenty of time to have dinner before, and got home at a reasonable time. The play was wonderful and the acting was top-notch. They do a nice job with their limited stage size and sets. We'll be back. Great place to take out-of-town guests when you've run out of golf & hikes with them!

Rhythm & Roots presents great artists in wonderful settings at very reasonable prices! An added…read morebonus is that one can usually chat with the performers at intermission or after the show. One can sit very close to the artists, whether the concert is in the Plaza Palomino courtyard or in the adjoining indoor venue (the latter is great on hot summer nights, since it's air conditioned). This results in a far better experience than at larger venues. There almost always is a free raffle for a CD from the performers. Occasionally other prizes are given out as well. Who doesn't like a freebie? If you buy your ticket in advance there's a $3 savings. Every bit helps! We've been attending Rhythm & Roots concerts for years and plan to continue for many years. We encourage you to give them a try!

Upon arriving, part of what I liked was that the theatre definitely gave off Arizona vibes with its Native American architecture. We sat at the upper level. Another thing I like is that it's an intimate theater. This means you'll have a good view pretty much from anywhere you sit, including in the back which is where we were. The seats are reasonably comfortable and we enjoyed the performance. During the intermission, I got a local beer which was reasonably priced for an event venue. All-in-all, a great experience. Support the arts! I joined their email list to keep up with the performances they hold throughout the year.

It's a smaller intimate historic venue perfectly suited to host a wide range of theatrical performances. Tucson is incredibly lucky to have such a diverse and thriving theatre scene.

This is such a great and intimate theater! It seats maybe 100 people. I've had the opportunity to…read moresee several shows here, and the experience has been incredible every single time! The actors are the same, so you get to know them and their different personalities. Season ticket holders get seats in the front with their names on them - such a nice touch! They also do a chat about the performance after it's over. It's very close to the U of A campus, giving it a great location, and it's a cool looking space inside and out. There are fresh baked cookies, and coffee and water for a donation as well. I just enjoy the owners who speak before the performances, and just everything about this place! It's special!

The cast had us laughing from start to finish with clever jokes, over-the-top characters, and just the right amount of heroic insect drama. If Batman and a backyard barbecue had a theatrical baby, this would be it. It was 2 acts then ended with The Gong Show comedy skit. The food (pizza and wings) was very good!

My only complaint is that we sat in a couple seats where we were looking at the back of the performers 75 percent of the time. It may have been the type of production but it didn't work for me.

What a terrible experience. I was standing in line to enter a concert when a staff member suddenly…read moretold me I couldn't go in because of a newly implemented clear purse policy. This was never communicated ahead of time--nothing on the tickets, no warning, nothing. I asked about a refund, and the on-site manager--who appeared very young and inexperienced--told me he'd have to "check with higher-ups." There was no attempt to resolve the situation or offer any real help. Just dismissive and unprofessional. Sure, I could have taken my purse back to my car, but it was parked over a mile away. That's not a reasonable solution once you're already at the venue and in line. Policies like this need to be clearly communicated in advance. Leaving people stranded at the door is unacceptable. Overall, a frustrating and poorly managed experience.

Parking and walking was easy. We bypassed the crowd by arriving about 10 minutes before the start of the show, so both the line to check-in and the bar were short. As others have mentioned, there is a metal detector at check-in and there is a size limit on bag size. The ushers were super helpful and I was surprised to see they had booster seats, which I hadn't considered brining. I am glad they offer them, it came in handy. The show itself was fantastic. The costumes were lovely, the screenplay was humorous, and the performances were all solid. We're not season ticket holders but are considering it for the future. Our daughter loved the show.
