The Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts is currently undergoing a $14 million renovation that includes a complete makeover of its Virginia G. Piper Theater, which consists of improvements to the stage, acoustics, lighting, sight lines and more.
Adding to the theater experience will be a new café and wine bar for visitors. Hard hat tours will be offered to the public during renovations, and the theater’s Stage 2 will remain open for long-running shows like Late Night Catechism. And although the theater is undergoing a major renovation, that doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of entertainment for art lovers.
Performances will be taken “on the road†as the theater will present shows at Theater 4301 and the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall Amphitheater. Various other venues throughout the Valley of the Sun also will play host to shows like An Evening with Edward Albee and Pilobolus, a collaborative dance performance. The theater is set to reopen for the 2009-10 season. For more information, visit www.scottsdalecenterfortheperformingarts.org or call (480) 994-2787.
