| - Was at grand re-opening of Herberger, featuring mini-performances from performing arts organizations including Phoenix Boys Choir, Phoenix Opera, AZ Opera, Scottsdale School of Ballet, Epik Dance, Valley Youth Theatre.
Kudos on the renovation - new entrances grants accessibility from 2nd Street, while maintaining 3rd Street and Monroe accessibility.
In general, the Herberger is well-designed as an overall theatre destination. Both main stages, Central Stage and Stage West, maintain an intimate feel - every seat in the house is worth having. The bar counter opens to ample outdoor patio seating, which overlooks the central courtyard.
Beautiful 2nd-floor open-air loft space above the central rotunda and cozy lounge in the west wing with balcony overlooking the central courtyard. Both spaces were used to showcase local artists this weekend, the lounge seems esp. perfect for event space.
