The Mesa Arts Center is certainly an impressive modern sight in the old fashioned Downtown Mesa area. My wonderful husband surprised me this past weekend to tickets to my favorite show, Tap Dogs, and it happened to be at this theatre. As we walked around the grounds, I couldn't help but be impressed with the interesting architecture and all the work that went into keeping the grounds beautiful and fun to look at as well. There are so many things/areas to look at outside, there's no way you would get bored while waiting for a show. Once inside the Ikeda Theatre, we were greeted by very friendly ushers who happily showed us to our seats as well as made a few jokes along the way. The interior of the theatre is quite impressive, something that I think will certainly stand the test of time and ultimately become quite the destination for performers. The seats were comfortable, the acoustics were wonderful and the layout tried to make every seat as good a seat as possible. I really enjoyed this theatre and I would love to see another show here.
