Mesa Encore Theatre

"I saw Little Shop of Horrors there recently. The cast was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised that they had refreshments and alcohol for sale. Loved the intimate setting of the theater."

"I've seen a number of their productions. I'm now trying to reach them to donate my mother's old costume jewelry to them. I'd love to see them put it to good use in some of their productions like GREASE, since a number of pieces are from the 50's & 60's."

"Thought-provoking play based on real-life scenario. Cast did a great job bringing difficult child/adult/parenting/relationships to life when life-changing accidents happen. The AZ GOV & ENTIRE AZ HOUSE and SENATE should attend this play and pay attention to the complexities of life that heartless, exclusionary legislation makes even more complex by limiting appropriate medical treatment."

"First time here and totally delighted. Small, very friendly. A joy to experience local theatre performed by people with passion and talent. We saw Darkside and thoroughly enjoyed. This theatre group has been around for over 80 years, amazing. We put Mesa Encore Theatre on our watch list for future performances."

"This was our 2nd time in this very small Black Box theatre. As a theatre major, I am a fan of black box theatres because you can do so much with them. This was a play called Scrooge and Rouge. The subplot is the cast gets food poisoning except for 3 members of the cast and remember, the show must go on, they will do The Christmas Carol playing all the parts. It was a musical at some points, but generally it is a farce of fast costume changes, bad jokes and a female Scrooge. I found nothing offensive, however the people sitting next to me left at intermission. However, I spent so long in the theatre little offends me. :) The seating are three rows of regular theatre seats and then chairs on the edges of the stage, like during the Elizabethan period when gentlemen would pay to sit on the stage to show of their finery."
