"4.5, rounded up.\n\nWatched a musical here for the first time last night (Camelot is currently playing, with The Addams Family coming this summer if you're interested). \n\nThis is a darling new 120-seat stage theater in Gilbert (Higley & Guadalupe), and it's the home of Actor's Youth Theatre and The Black Mustache Old Fashioned Melodrama. They run a dozen or so youth productions per year (plays and musicals) and hold many workshops and classes for young performers. \n\nBut back to the theater itself: The seats are super soft and comfy and the armrests are generous and have cup holders. The floor is slanted toward the stage so there appears to be a good view from any seat in the house. \n\nThe rush of the A/C when it kicks on is mildly noticeable during shows, but I could still hear the actors without a problem. And I loved the live band. The lobby is tiny but there's a nice space out front to gather before and after the shows. \n\nI won't comment on the show since I am biased (my child performed in it) other than to say I thought it was wonderful, of course. \n\nWould I go to watch not-my-kids perform at the Tuscany Theater? Absolutely. It's a charming space, and probably the most comfortable seating I've experienced in a local stage production. Tons more personal seat space than Herberger, Orpheum, Gammage, or Mesa Arts Center, for instance. \n\nThere are some restaurants in the area too, if you want to make plans for dinner and a show."^^ . .
