A beautiful, cozy, arts center in downtown Scottsdale. I've seen a reading of short stories and also a concert. If I lived closer, I'd go more often. The box office staff and ushers are professional and friendly. There's a little shop with books and gifts and jewelry, perfect for pre-show browsing.
The only downside might be walking down the stairs inside the auditorium if you're seated down front, but they do have an elevator if you prefer.
