  • ASU Gammage

    1200 S. Forest Ave. Tempe

    480-965-3434

    In 1957 then ASU President Grady Gammage called on famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright to help create a unique auditorium for the university. Originally Wright had the design that would eventually become Gammage Auditorium in mind for Baghdad, Iraq but ended up placing the opera house in Tempe instead. The 3,000-seat performance hall is 80 feet tall and measures 300 by 250 feet, flanked on either side by giant pedestrian bridges. The construction of the $2.46 million building – the only public building Wright designed in the state of Arizona – took 25 months and was completed in September 1964. The multifunctional auditorium can be used for opera, musical and dramatic productions, symphony concerts and lectures. And today, Arizona State University's Gammage is one of the largest university-based presenters of performing arts in the world.

    602-258-8129

    The Helen K. Mason Center for the Performing Arts, home to Black Theater Troupe, includes a 145-seat theater and was built to meet the specific needs of the troupe -- with large space for rehearsing musicals and office space for day-to-day operations. It also sits just around the corner from Eastlake Park, a site of significance for the troupe since the park, formerly known as Patton Park, was once one of the only places in the Southwest where the races were able to mix. Funding for the building came from a $2.5 million bond the troupe received in 2006 to build a performance space, as well as an incubation program for smaller arts programs. The troupe therefore houses other troupe within the building rent-free for a year.

    1833 W Southern Ave Mesa

    480-461-7172

    Three Sisters was written by Anton Chekhov, who is credited for perfecting the genre of modern realism. The play will be directed by Matthew Wiener, a professional guest director that has a specialty in extracting the comedy from what are often considered by others to be solely serious Russian plays. The play centers around the Prozorov family, who chafes at the constraints of life in their small provincial town, once a bustling army garrison where their late father served as general. Attempts to shore up their crumbling social status lay bare the larger forces of unrest that will soon engulf them all.
