Reviews of Hale Centre Theatre - Arizona
Abe Kashiwagi
My wife and I have been to Hale Theatre at least 7 times now. We loved the musicals like Marry Poppins and The little Mermaid. They have a concession for buying snacks during intermission. Very cute place. I will say that the non-musicals aren’t our cup of tea. But that’s a purely preference. Many of our friends love those. Make sure you get a center spot seating. Because the stage is in the middle technically every spot is good. Except they the actors will sometimes use the stairs and corners for the scene and if you’re in a weird corner your view might be poor.

We saw Brigadoon at Hale theatre and it was a great show! The theatre itself was unlike any I had been to. The stage was in the middle, with seating all around. It felt very immersive with the actors and actresses coming in from every side. The singing was beautiful. The show was entertaining. It made for a perfect girls night out. I look forward to going back for another show sometime.
Kim Clarkson
Went to see Mary Poppins with friends here recently. What a fun and entertaining experience. There’s not a bad seat in the house. The performance was excellent. Cast was excellent. This theater is an an excellent location in down town Gilbert. Great restaurant nearby and plenty of parking.
Jason Hendrickson
What a fantastic venue! My family have been to 3 different productions and each were truly entertaining and had tremendous production value. The intimate seating is so unique but we haven't had a bad seat yet.
Melissa Davis
Our new favorite place! We had an incredible time as a family seeing A Christmas Carol. Very kid-friendly, family friendly, time of show was perfect, it was very entertaining, loved the special effects, the story and actors were amazing. Atmosphere was cheery and filled with the Christmas spirit. Can't wait to see another show!
Rod Miller
Saw Chaps on New Year's Eve. Fantastic show! Loved it! Photos during show were from Hale Center Website!
Dale Hicks
WOW, the Elton John and Billy Joel Tribute at Hale Theatre Studio was crazy good! Intimate little studio that only sits probably less than 200, so you're sitting right next to the performers. The Billy Joel singer missed a few notes but his energy was infectious and he had the crowd rockin and rollin. Elton John singer was on point (even up to has ornate dress and glasses) and did an amazing job with alot of Eltons hits - Bennie & the Jets, Your Song, Yellow Brick Road, Candle in the Wind and quite a few others.
$44/person (2nd row) for a 2 hr concert with an encore - amazing deal and we'll worth it.
Naya Saba
They have excellent options for shows and the shows are amazing! It is clean, organized, and very efficient. Always on time and no delays. I have been to about six shows and none of them have anything that you can argue about. It has cozy seats and even if you get the seat in the back row, you can see every detail. Every show has a completely different setup on the walls. Most all shows are tear-jerkers but in a good way. I love everything about it! I hope you trust this review and it is definitely a 5 star experience every time. I hope you enjoy it too!!!
Emily
Love the shows here, and it's a nice local theater to support. I booked the incorrect time for one of the shows and reached out to them via email to see if my tickets could be switched to the later time. They responded very quickly and updated my ticket right away, so I've always been grateful for that. Seats can fill up fast for certain shows. They have a snack cart that they will bring out during intermission, but no official concession stand. Plenty of parking around the area but not at the theater itself so you'll have to walk a bit.

UPDATE APRIL 2022. The Hale is still an incredible small theater production company. This season my wife and I attended eight performances. Last night it was The Music Man. We were surprised at how well management replicated the costumes worn in the 1962 film. The Hale venue is intimate, accommodating, friendly, and always a treat.
If you've been to other musicals, concerts, plays, dinner theaters, then you will be struck the moment you walk in at the small scale of the Hale Theater, which we LOVED. Not a bad seat in the place and every seat is close to the performance. The Hale has an intimate atmosphere which heightens the experience of the performance. But this is a review of not only the venue but also the show - A Christmas Carol. It was simply outstanding and seemed to be closer in professionalism, props, music, special effects to a big city venue than a small town production. And I HAVE to comment about the costumes - "over the top". I've been to enough low-budget theater where the costumes are a bit shabby, worn and tired. Not here. Obviously they poured a lot of money into costumes. Tickets are very pricey but based on all that I've just said, it just makes sense. This is not a low budget production. Also, the cast of A Christmas Carol was surprisingly large. Management controls how and when late-comers are seated, which I love. It minimizes distractions and interference. No alcoholic beverages are served here because they strictly adhere to their family oriented philosophy. They do serve snacks and drinks. We have family flying in next month and have reserved seats for an upcoming performance. I highly recommend the Hale for a truly different theater experience.
January 20. Attended another performance tonight - Always, Patsy Cline. Simply an outstanding production loaded with talent. Another fun time.
Rebecca Wadsworth
Hale Theater puts on great quality shows in a very intimate setting. I love it! People who are hearing impaired can enjoy it because the crowd is much smaller and more respectful than a larger crowd. You also get a great view from all seats!
Shelly Farley
I am proud to support this community theatre. They always put on wonderful productions with a wide variety of genres. There isn't a bad seat in the house with the stage being in the middle.
Laura Fredrickson
First time there and had a Great time. The wonderful music of Billy Joel and Elton John played with such great enthusiasm you did not want to stop clapping or singing. Ben Hale kept the crowd going and we all had a great time. We will be back.🎶😊🎶 …
Ken Edwards
Intimate setting, not a bad seat in the house. The ushers were so very considerate so as not to interrupt performance yet accommodate patrons...contemporary and fresh venue.
Lots of parking nearby, lots of lively dining options both inside and out surrounding the theater.
Kat Myhre
Very intimate feeling at the Hale theater. It's comfortable and the atmosphere is so inviting. The Christmas Story was fabulous again and it has become a tradition for us to go with a group of friends every year
Nakeisha Numrich
Hale theater is a wonderful event space. Loved the 2 musicals I've seen so far. A must see and do when downtown. Easy parking on a busy Saturday and fun places to meet-up before a show within walking distance.
Jodi Rankin
Fabulous immersive way to watch a show. We've been to two and already planning our next. I wish you could have a drink during however i imagine that would make clean up that much more difficult.
Very talented performers.
4Trons- Home
Everybody loved it. Its sorta hidden so easily missed off gilbert road, but glad we found it and went. We saw Christmas Carol, and the actor that played Ebenezer was quite amazing. I mean they were all great, singing, acting but he took the cake and rightly so since he was the main character; evident as to why. A must see. So much so that some family are coming down soon, so guess what, yup, they want to see it too!
Bonnie Oakes
Their production of Sister Act the Musical was a delight! We observed the whole audience smiling, the musical talent was outstanding, and the nun character rolls hilarious! An excellent romp.
Jeanne soncrant
Last evening's show was wonderful...great talent. Our absolute favorite was Ava Maria and O Holy Night! Would loved to have the entire show based on the true meaning of Christmas...
Marshall Rende
Very enjoyable! The actors were great, theater in the round was new to me, and I enjoyed the seating, not a bad seat anywhere. Definitely take the family, you won't regret it.
Craig Turner
The Christmas Carol was excellent. We took the grandkids to see it. They all enjoyed it.
CJ Mann
The annual Christmas Carol show is a must see. The theater is an intimate size with charm. Hey there early to enjoy dinner at the several restaurants within a stones throw.
Bob Martin
This is a great little theater. I've been here for two shows, The Music Man, and a Roy Orbison tribute performance. Both were excellent shows, and the staff here are super helpful and friendly. I'll be back!
Debbie Bachler
I went to 2 recent events, both were excellent . Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn was well done. I even learned some secrets. ABBA was amazing and sgared with 3 friends we sang abd danced and swayed to the music. What a great evening!
I plan to see 2 more very soon. Loving this place!
Brittney Dowell
Always fun to catch a show at Hale. The venue is clean and nice, the actors are skilled and it's relatively affordable. Last night I enjoyed the studio next door for the Hi-Five Christmas concert with my two daughters (6 and 8). It's less seating, and every seat is great! We'll continue coming back for a memorable time.
Rose Lowenberg
Wonderful peformace our Red Hat goes every year. Never disappointed
M K
Go to several of the theater shows a year and have previously left a 5 star review a few years ago. The talent is generally very good and the venue is great. Many of the shows have been great (Sister Act, Addams Family, Christmas Carol, and such) but every once in a while there's one or two that just doesn't work. Went to see one of the music shows (Johnny Cash/Roy Orbison/Everly Bros) in the new space which was fairly good but was totally disappointed by the Hi Fi Holiday show. Was a little surprised that this was the same main singer as the last show - but more importantly was expecting a more "upbeat" show. When Ave Maria (which I love) if one of the better, faster paced songs it's a long evening. Song selection wasn't the best, and most songs that were performed were too torchy, lonely bar club, slow - slower than most versions you'll hear even intstrumental versions. Singers had very good voices but just didn't think the songs - and how slow and "show tuney" they were performed - worked for my "Hi Fi Holiday" expectations. Was escpecially disappointed as we had taken friends with us. In all honesty, we almost left at intermission but had hoped the second half would pick up the pace. It did for one song at that was about it.
Katie Moffett
The 42nd Street show was wonderful. Filled with beautiful songs, lively tap dancing, and snaps of humor. For the theater lover, I highly recommend. The set is also very unique and the cast does well at showing to all the room.
Casey Halling
Saw a Christmas Carol here. Performance was great. This theater is small and intimate. There really isn't a bad seat.
Dennis
We just attended Roy Orbison. The gentleman who performed as Roy was great. Excellent voice. Band was great. Unfortunately I did not come to see the two backup/accompanying female singers do their solo performances. That was unexpected and not appreciated.
Gabby J
Andrews Brothers last night was an exquisite performance! The Gold cast: Joey Morrison as Max Andrews, Trevon Powell as Lawrence Andrews, Reece Harris as Patrick Andrews and the one and only Michala Montano as Peggy Jones was absolutely out of this world! Entertainment at its finest!
Michala Montano’s talent is hard to go unrecognized. She owned the stage by drawing the audience into the story. Literally, I was mesmerized by her charisma. Her voice has the clearest purity with an amazing control and range. Just like with any outstanding performance, I need to go back to see it again, and again!
Lou Blas
Performance great!
Cast is really great!
Small band overpowers singers, too loud , so can’t hear songs over there drum,trumpet,etc
Joy Turley
Absolutely love this venue, it has come to a tradition seeing Christmas Carol! Thank you to all participants and staff.
Mary Wallace
Watched a great show, but why no alcohol???
Tara Price
We went to Daddy Long Legs last night at this venue. Beautiful venue. Loved the way the theatre was arranged with the seats surrounding the stage! The talent of the musicians and cast were amazing! We loved the play, music, venue, and story!! So, so good! We wore masks, seating was spaced, and they wiped handrails down. Can't wait to watch another play at the Hale theatre!
Scott Mahar
My first time at Hale centre and I'm impressed. Amazing local talent for the Christmas Story. I like the setup and with things so close you feel like you are part of the show. I plan to return many times, what a great piece of Gilbert.
David Richardson
I've attended a few productions here. They have always been well done and enjoyable. Easy parking and ticket process is much more enjoyable than some of larger venues.
Marcia M
Love this place. The shows are amazing and the performers are top notch. Theater is nice and not overly growded.
Tatiana Ali
Love this place! I am from out of town and come here to AZ for work. I make sure to catch a show every time! Great selections of plays and a nice date night!
Jill Nguyen
I love this beautiful intimate theater. Every seat is amazing. The cast of a Christmas Carol is amazing and I love this show. I definitely want to see other shows throughout the year.
JON DANGELO-SMART
We enjoyed seeing Billy Joel and Elton John tribute. The seats were perfect. We will go back again.
John Magyar
An entertainment gem, right in downtown Gilbert. We’ve seen 3 shows so far and keep going back.
dotpolkaable
What can I say but the fact that this theatre is mind blowing! The phrase 'small but mighty' is a perfect description of this theatre. I've only gone twice but every visit has me excited to come back again. It's little but gives you the perfect experience of having your own personal viewing. I've gone to see the Sister Act play. Those actors and actresses were amazing! This time around it was an Elvis Tribute. So if you are looking for quality entertainment, look into this theatre in Downtown Gilbert!
Kristi Walter
Great venue, up close and personal. Saw The music of Elton John and Billy Joel. Will definitely be seeing other shows!
Eileen L. Smith
My review of: Hale Theatre in Gilbert. This small theatre packs a punch that leaves you breathless and feeling enchanted. You feel right as if you are a part of the show. Wall panels are changed out and painted to reflect the current production being performed. I saw the Little Mermaid the musical. Children were welcome to attend in costume. I saw more than one mermaid in the audience. A close up meet and greet with the cast follows afterwards in the lobby. Gigantic chocolate chip cookies can be purchased before and after the show.
Brooke BB
We love Hale. We've been season ticket holders for almost two years now. Some of our favorites have been Newsies, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and most definitely Thr Christmas Carol. That has become a yearly tradition for us. Hale puts on quality productions and the cost is relatively low of you buy their 5+ show passes. I love the location-- right near the water tower in downtown Gilbert. I've also found the customer service at Hale to be excellent when I've needed to adjust my ticket reservations. The website online is also easy to use. I very much recommend this theater.
Jason Checketts
Wow. Lived here all my life and we finally went for the first time this week. What an amazing theatre. We saw Christmas Carol and we absolutely loved it. Very well done. Very talented people. We will for sure be going back.
Mackenzi C.
There's nothing better than watching a beautiful musical live at a community theater!! The Hale Centre Theatre performers and stage crew did a superb job of Daddy Long Legs!! We will be back to enjoy the splendor of other musicals at HCT!
Leon S. Sarkisian
Great production! Bravo! Standing ovation for the entire participants. Good acting, nice clear voices, great set, really a pleasant evening.
Carol Ptak
Always incredible music. Never a bad experience. You are made to feel at home each time. We drive from Globe - almost 100 miles and well worth it
Bill Same
I Just saw Lucky Stiff at the Hale. The performance has outstanding and every performer was worthy of a 10 with powerful voices and the acting was well presented. There didn’t seem to be a bad seat in the house and the set changes totally amazed me. I will definitely go again and take friends and family. Gilbert is lucky to have this live theater in their city.
William Sedillos
Went to visit family, they invited us to a show. We really enjoyed the show and the venue. It was an awesome experience. We are looking forward to coming to see another show.
Tyler Palmer
THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME! The characters were well played by great actors, the music and cues were hit perfectly, and the performance was outstanding. I can only compare this to a mini Broadway. Good job Hale Theatre Team! You're the best!
Sue Erickson
Love, Love, Love Hale Theater Date Nights! The actors are super talented and you lose yourself into the show within the first minute. The round audience setting makes every seat a great seat! Thank you for your passion with creating a magical experience with every production!
Lissa White
I loved the theater, especially the interactive feeling with the 360° setting. The only problem we had was with the seating. One of our five seats was a corner seat that couldn't be used even by a thin person. We will pick better seats next time but the theater would do well to remove the seats that are on a bias. Our guest had to sit in a place away from us which in the end was not too much of a hardship but we did want to be together.
Janet Rose
Small theater with very good actors. Just saw 42 Street, the dancers were excellent!
Jessica Zeigler
Beautiful theater. Love how close you get the sit to the stage. Very intimate almost. I've seen 2 shows here now. Definitely recommend.
Kristi Yates
Wonderful performance of A Christmas Carol! It's become a family tradition! What a great way to start off the holiday season! Thank you! See you again next year!❤
Nichole Johnson
This theater is absolutely stunning inside!!! Went a saw the little mermaid here and I loved it so so so much! One of the best performances I've ever seen, such a great crew/team for the effects/music/etc. Just amazing. :)
Michelle Hamner
Even though I have only been to a few shows, I can honestly say that Hale Theatre knows how to put on a great show. I definitely plan on attending more in the near future. Quality acting, nice in the round layout, comfortable and clean lobby, as well as concessions. I highly recommend Hale Theatre.
Joanne Jarman
What can I say? Amazing shows, a beautiful, remodeled building, and now, awesome classes! Hale is a invaluable contributor to the theatre community and to the downtown Gilbert scene. If you haven't been to a show here, you've missed something special! I always wonder how they're going to pull off a big Broadway show on an intimate stage in their theatre- in- the- round and I'm always blown away by a fabulous production! Now they've added dance classes taught by fantastic instructors in their new dance studio and we couldn't be more excited! Bravo! 👏👏
Patricia Hart
Saw the musical SisterAct. Very well done. Laughed all night. Great actors & the venue is comfortable. All good seats.
Denise Pogue
Love the venue and experience. Saw Freaky Friday, Footloose and ABBA. Every seat is great!
Sharon Schafrik
First time awesome venue. Saw Sister Act. 4 stars cuz I wasa bit disappointed. They cut the ending abd didnt sing to the Pope. I wish the beginning was trimmed down to allow for the ending. But I will be back.
Shell M
We love going to Hale Theater. Every seat is a great seat. We go for new years every year and the owner is there- where do you ever see that?!!
Glenny Carter
Went to the Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn tribute. The singers and band were great. However the venue they are holding it at is too small so everything was too loud in my open. Bring ear protection.
Bojana
I am so glad I bought tickets for John loves Mary, it was such a good play, actors were amazing, so much fun. I sure hope we will see them again. If you come to Gilbert this place is a must!
James Wennmacher
Pleasant, round theater with small, intimate setting. Delightful cast. Enjoyed it.
russell walters
Great show, 'the Highway Men ' tribute. Every seat was near the stage, and artists were well prepared for the show.
Matthew Casey
Came to see “The Hit” with the family and had a great evening. A fun and intimate stage with an energetic cast and professional crew.
Kyle Schroeder
Wonderful little theater! Both the shows my family has seen here (Music Man and Little Mermaid) were very well done. Great attention to details, great costuming, impressive singing, choreography, it's all just outstanding! Highly recommended!
Lorie Green
Dolores, the lead is exceptional in this role. She delivers a flawless performance. Her voice and acting skills provided the audience with a delightful experience.
Sam Bateman
My husband and I adore the shows at the Hale Centre Theatre in downtown Gilbert! They are always done well and the time and talent put into every second shows through on each actors face. Season tickets are priced fairly at $24 per ticket and they have a fun selection of shows in their repertoire. Our two favorites so far have been, Meet Me in St. Louis and Annie.
Terri Rader
We go here often. Great plays and concerts, with reasonable ticket prices.
Linda Nelson
My first time there. I will definitely return. Loved the show and the ambience. Great location. Easy parking, and all of downtown Gilbert to eat and drink before or after the show.
Sarah M (Financial Coach)
I enjoy the uniqueness of a theater in the round instead of a traditional stage. Every time I've gone the actors are clearly enjoying what they do.
The Grumpy Tucsonian
Saw A Christmas Carol. It was fantastic. The theater itself is a wonderful venue. Will definitely be back.
The Connell's
Roy Orbison tribute was spectacular. Very talented group and Ben's voice range is awesome!!
Jennie Sawyers
I have LOVED every show we have seen!! Everyone should have season passes!!
Stephanie Matter
Very quaint little theatre in the round. The line up for 2023 looks real good. The ticket prices are A GREAT VALUE.
Steven Spearman
A fun experience! The show was reasonably priced and very enjoyable-the snacks were reasonable too.
Kristen Buckley
Beautiful theatre - loved being in a closer more intimate environment to see The Music Man, that being said, Prof Hill looked like he might pass out at any minute and was a little too old to play opposite Marian. My niece thought it was gross. He had a nice voice and speaking voice and great acting but the songs seemed like a struggle for him. Overall I enjoyed it.
Evan Bobbitt
We had the pleasure of seeing the Music Man at the Hale tonight! Simply wonderful! We will definitely be back for future performances!
L Groth
I love going to shows at Hale. It feels small enough to be cozy, but professional enough to be Tempe. Not a bad seat in the house, and everyone is exceedingly kind.
Brenda N
The fish was so good and we got home fries that were delicious too. We also got salads but they were all that weird Lettuce and spinach no regular Lettuce. Not my kind of salad but my husband loved it.. next time I will make sure I get regular lettuce. We will be back love this place. The table next to us got carrit cake and the man got bread pudding. Next time maybe a dessert only night😁
Judy Duersch
The Hale Centre Theater is excellent professionally done entertainment in Gilbert! We love it. We have gone to several plays in Salt Lake City, Utah, partner I assume, and it is always a great night at the Hale Theater!
James Bjornstad
Not a bad seat in this theater. The perfect venue!
Debra Thomas
This is a great theater! Just saw a couple of shows here, can not wait to go back! The performers are extremely talented! The sets are amazing! The sound, lighting, even the detail on costumes and props, very impressive!
Very much looking forward to their next show!
Tausha Bentz
We purchased season tickets this year and so far every show has been fantastic! I think we will be purchasing season tickets every year now.
Nehemiah Cruz
Nice little venue. Comfy seats. Clean, and always great actors! They always put on a good show. Conssession was good selection
Rehtaeh Marie
I've been to a handful of shows here and they've all been really good. Great bang for your buck.
David Noel
What a blast! First time going, it was very well done, the performers were all awesome, the sets and the quick changes were perfect, and the script was witty and funny. Will definitely be back. Soon.
Guy Caldwell
One of the best theaters I have been too. A nice theater in the round. All seats have good visibility. And they always changing up the productions with more great shows
Hugs Weeknd
This was amazing~!! I'm visiting family and I had so much fun. They were so talented, I was surprised they fit so much in that small area~fantastical~!
Kristin Balazentis
Love, love love the shows. The theater is quaint and the productions are very entertaining.
Kris McCutcheon
I HAVE BEEN TO THE HALE THEATER TWICE SINCE I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN GILBERT A HIDDEN GEM AND A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO WATCH A UNIQUE PLAY ROW B IS THE FRONT ROW SITTING SIT HIGHER UP BETTER VIEW
Dawn Lifgren
The John Denver Tribute show was AWESOME! It totally brought back memories of my childhood and listening to his records. Great place to see any show. Small and intimate setting. Great performers!
Mark DiStasi
A delightfully intimate theatre. It appears that the stage is intentionally small to allow for other areas of the house to provide for scene settings. As a member of the audience you may get the feeling you're a cast member because the set design is cleverly wrapped around you. Consistently showcasing great direction, acting, set design and all facets of production.
Wayne Holmes
Great show. Wonderful cast.
Barbara Pohle-Schulze
Want a fun laughter filled evening? Lucky Stiff will certainly provide that. A zany plot, excellent actors and singers. Dialogue I can actually understand!! A big shout-out to Nicholas Gunnell playing Mr Witherspoon I swore I was listening to a young Anthony Newley may have to buy a flexpass to enjoy some upcoming productions
Gina Kneisley
Such a lovely theater. Local theater feel in the heart of Gilbert. Great for date night - dinner and a show. Love love love
Kyle
Great shows, great acting, comfy seats (could possibly use more legroom, but it's not bad). Absolutely stunning renovation, beautiful attention to detail.
Great place to see a show.
Teresa Fernandez
Great theater, great production!! I went to see Sister Act. Cast was terrific 👍🏻 …
Horace
Attended a great production of Footloose at the Hale. It was my first time there really enjoyed it. Ticket price very reasonable for the quality of the Theatrical experience. I do plan to go back.
Jeremy Johnson
Such an unusual theater - they really have to be creative with their set design since the audience sits on all four sides of the stage. They do a great job of attracting talented performers and choosing interesting productions. I've never shown up and had a bad experience!
JulieAnn Shaw
We have seen most of the shows at Hale Theatre since it first came to Gilbert. We have been pleased or thrilled, and have truly enjoyed going nearly once a month most years. It is amazing the variety of shows that can be preformed in this theatre with seats all the way around and so close to the stage we often feel part of it. High quality acting, scenery, costumes and singing.
Connie Jay
Saw " Footloose" with a group of 12 ladies. All of us thought it was great and the acting, dancing, and singing were first class. We were impressed with all the stage changing and costumes. The theater itself is near many great restaurants, also. So make a full day of it. Gilbert has a lot to offer.
Troy Haar
We saw Scrooge as a Christmas family tradition and it was very good. It wasn't too scary for the little kids. A great thing to do during the holidays. The theater or venue pricing for the food and snacks inside was very affordable and all the people who work that were very light and helpful
The staff has always the knowledge available to be able to answer my questions when I'm there. They pay attention to detail. The place is clean and neat. Well kept up and I will definitely return. here.
Mary Ellen Lee
I absolutely LOVE Hale Theater! It is intimate and there is not a bad seat in the house. If you have never seen theater in the round, I highly recommend. The production is done really well, full sets and beautiful costumes. Shows are typically no more than 3 hours, with a short intermission. The snacks and drinks are yummy! I also love the location. It is the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat before or after being located in Downtown Gilbert.
Jamie Lee Silver
My son and I went to Brigadoon last night and loved every moment of this energetic, touching, colorful and brilliantly executed play. The theater in the round had us all feeling as if we were in Brigadoon ourselves. Every performer was flawless and the House Manager Felicia was great! Every detail, down to the actual chimes she used to signal the start of the play was impeccable. Thank you for a wonderful night out with my son!
Kevin Hogan
Great venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Very much enjoyed the performance.
Jennifer Baker
We love date nights here! It's always a memorable experience.
Paul Petka
Just saw "A Christmas Carol". Very well done. Scrooge and Bob Cratchit were excellent!
Anna Carroll
Saw "Dear Ruth," one of the best yet!
Update: If I could add another star, I would! I'm at another show (42nd Street, fantastic as always), and I got that dumb tickle in the throat that makes you cough up a lung. I had to exit, and the manager and another employee got me water and cough drops. So kind and helpful and understanding! Sorry about the noisy cough and all!
Nick Whittecar
Absolutely loved this place and the experience! First ever show. Anywhere. We went to go see A Christmas Carol. Great performance! Would definitely go back again! My only minor, minor complaint would be that we had isle seats, when the actor would go up the stairs and off to one side of the theater, I had to lean back just a bit as there was a hand rail in my line of sight. Again, absolutely minor "complaint". Did not ruin the experience!
Kasie Cupp
Our family had an an AMAZING time watching "SCROOGE" at Hale Centre Theatre! The Play, People, Cast, Play, honestly the whole thing was a DIFFERENT & WONDERFUL Way to spend with Our Famiy! Thank you Hale Centre for the Unforgettable Day😀 …
Carolynn Carpenter
Never went before. Never knew about it. Beautiful theater. Will go back.
Lynda Wooten
This show was great and so entertaining. My daughter and I were dancing in our seats. It was definitely a winner.
Seth Adam Smith
Hale Centre Theatre is a FANTASTIC, family-friendly theater. I have nothing but good things to say about them: Great shows, high-caliber, professional acting, and just a great atmosphere. Wonderful!
Kathy Osborn
Fantastic place, customer service was excellent, the show was awesome. We will be back to see Patsy Kline in January for sure, as well as the other shows coming up.
Kristin Newell
The show was good, I saw Mary Poppins, but I didn't love the setup of the stage. It's down in the middle of the theater with seats all around it. This makes the background of each scene the people opposite you and closest to the stage. I just personally felt that it made it difficult to really get pulled into the story. The cast was wonderful though! It was a good show!
Chad Johnson
Fantastic play. We have loved every performance and play they have ever done.
Jan Peterman
We went last night to see Karen Hester as Dolly Parton. She’s amazing! Sounded just like Dolly singing, laughing and talking. Great performance. We just moved here and so glad we found this theater. I already have Buddy Holly tickets.

What a great Theater in the round .. not a bad seat ! The cast of “Annie” did a great job, of coarse Julia Pitman as Annie was my favorite as well as Sandy the dog ..so cute and smart! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 …
Wendy Sischo
There is no bad seat in the house. Great place to see local theater. Might want to bring your own snacks as the choices are limited and mostly candy. I can't wait to go again.
Momma M
Adamas Family… What an absolutely incredible show!!! The venue is spectacularly detailed and the production flawless!!! Truly an experience we’ll never forget!!!
Sharon Nolan
Simply one of the best places ever! I LOVE the Hale Theatre.
Tyler Hatch
I've always had good experiences going to their shows, but I also rate their customer service very highly. We had tickets booked months ahead of time, and the week of the show I got covid. Customer service moved the ticket date back a couple weeks so we could still enjoy the show we were looking forward to.
cheryl gorman
No bad seats, love this place for fun night out, great talent!
Rick Momsen
Great cast, great venue, singing and acting was broadway worthy undoubtedly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great theater experience done right!
Kari Page
Saw Christmas Carol last night with mother, was super fun...scheduled another play for January! Love this theatre, no bad seat.
Carlos Lorenzo
Great theater that has a real intimate feel. Not a bad seat in the house.
Maria Sanchez
This is one of the most amazing and most memorable play that I have ever seen. The actors or so breathtakingly amazing! I will definitely see the show again if I ever get a chance!
Shelly Theilen
What a gem. I ran across this place by accident but I absolutely love it. The performances are always spot on and the plays have been so entertaining. I really love the cozy atmosphere and knowing there is not a bad seat in the house. The price is incredibly reasonable especially for the talent of these community actors. Will be a season ticket holder next year!
Emma Higgins
They spent there time and effort into the shows that they put on and each one is better then the last!
Shelly MacBean
Just saw Sister Act and it was awesome! Here from Illinois. Thanks for a great time!
Michael Hermes
Went to hale centre for the first time n.y.e. it was a great experience. Seen the play "the hit" it was awesome
Jeff McTag
This is a great community theater.
Seating is in the round, no more than 9 rows deep.
Local and national actors perform all sorts of shows that will make you smile, cry, laugh, and sing along.
It may not be the caliber of a Broadway show, but it's just as entertaining. With no chance of getting mugged!
Peter Wen
We saw A Christmas Carole here tonight and loved the whole experience! I've also been here to see multiple shows in the past, all of which have always been an exceptional experience.
The staff have always been professional, and caring. I've never once seen their restroom facilities messy or dirty, and their performances have always been magical.
Thank you all at Hale so very much and merry Christmas.
valarie finn
My family has attended performances here for years and have never been disappointed. The venue is terrific; no bad seat in the house, the atmosphere; always fun and positive even among the attendees, the plays whether a comedy or musical are always thoroughly enjoyable and represent a great caliber of local talent. We love the Hale.
Western Monument
Best of the best, it was amazing!!! I got ticket on my birthday, really liked, recommended for everyone, price is not expensive, good parking
Jason Steel
My wife and have purchased season tickets for years as our Anniversary gift to each other. We celebrate all year on our "theatre/date nights". Besides the shows we see throughout the year, A Christmas Carol is a family must every year. Highly recommend.
Ariel Beals
Had so much fun watching Mary Poppins! Fantastic show and totally worth the cost! This theater has an old fashioned beauty that makes it so enjoyable to visit! Makes me want to dress up for the theatre! Such a beautiful building and wonderful experience! I hope to see many more performances here!
Katie Wilkins
Smaller theater than some, but has big talent! I love the intimate space because you feel centered in the action. There is NO bad seat!! All seats afford a great view because the stage is centered in the building and the action is 360*!! Hale is one of my all-time favorite places to go!
Noreen Hurd
Very well done, family-friendly performances! Just saw Lucky Stiff and it was a blast!🥰 …
David Owen
I have been attending Hale theaters for over 40 years starting with the Orem Theater where my mother lived near the theater! She had season tickets! When I moved to Phoenix area we started attending In Gilbert! We have traveled much and seen live theatre in London, Paris, San Francisco, New York, Scotland, Portugal and more! Hale theater is still one of our most favorites! Theater in the “round”. Is so delightful…up front and cozy! Every show is total class! Dancing is always fabulous, singers fabulous, acting fabulous!!! Loved Brigadoon, Singing in the Rain, Hello Dolly, Christmas Carol….all the musicals!
Onward and upward May the theater go!!! Thanks for your excellence ❣️
Kaleb Bm (Kaleb)
We saw a Christmas Carol here in Dec during the holiday season. These guys did an AMAZING JOB! The audience surrounds the stage and really gives you a more intimate feeling about the play. All seats are good seats but I do prefer the East side, as it tends to provide better view if they happen to do any acts up above the crowd in corners.
Nicole Vargas
Harvey was AWESOME! All the actors did a fantastic job. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I wish they had more concessions or alcohol. I will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone! Really fun show and all the seats have a great view!!!
Hillary Burgardt
I saw Brigadoon with family friends and had a very good time. The theatre is small and in the round so you feel like you're practically part of the show. The actors were fantastic as was the overall production value.
Deva Hymen
Awesome theater experience. Comfortable environment, professional production. A+
Anna Elder
A bit small but every seat had a good view.
Also the picture is of the Adam's family's cousin. The other picture is where i sat
TC Chris
Watched a Christmas Carol today, was a fantastic production, and a great cast! The theater in the round setting is a wonderful and intimate experience. Highly recommend!
Sally Harland
Absolutely wonderful evening! The building is beautiful! The play was fantastic! Excellent job by the performers in a very intimate and personal atmosphere. It was my first time going and I will definitely be going again! Thank you for a fantastic evening of enjoyable entertainment right here in Gilbert!
David Rogers
Back at HCT for the third time this year. Daddy Long Legs was wonderful. We had Heidi-Liz and Austin for our performance and they were wonderful together. This Cinderella story of a young orphan who is helped by a rich trustee of the orphanages and the love story than ensues was Artfully presented on the HCT stage. I am looking forward to seeing the music man next month.
Andrew Frese
Hale Centre Theatre is one of my favorite places to go see play productions! We found it in Utah and have loved going there to see plays (all of which are family friendly and very cool)! Well we found one here in Gilbert so we went to see A Christmas Carol and it did not disappoint!! Great acting, great production!
Kathryn Ethington
Great performance! Singers were excellent, as was choreography. Very fun for the family and introducing kids to a classic musical.
Kathleen Liles
Intimate regional theater with seating in the round. All seats are good seats. Great show with good talent and special effects. Sound system could use a little help. Sometimes hard to understand dialogue. Have been to a few shows. Considering season tix for 2022.
Cal Tingey
Absolutely a great performance. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. However, in order to provide that every seat has a good view the seating is staggered at a pretty decent incline.
K C
What a great musical right in the heart of Gilbert! The acting, dancing and singing were fantastic. Great prices and the run time is just about 2.5 hours. This has got to be a top “fun things to do” when visiting Arizona. Or even fun for a date night or just anyone wanting to see a great show! I enjoyed myself from start to finish.
Lynn Bailey
The actors, directors, sound tech, stage crew and everyone behind the scenes always does a phenomenal job producing an amazing performance. Brigadoon was no exception. We always enjoy the intimacy of the “theater in the round.”
Rebekah Arens
I had such a great time! The cast were amazing in the Christmas Carol! The staff were friendly, visible, & available. The safety precautions were good; limited capacity, masks required, sanitizing. I would have liked to see enforcement of the patron mask wearing though. Even prior to the show starting, multiple masks were removed or covering only their mouth and it would be a factor to consider prior to purchasing tickets again.
Lauren Ross
Intimate, and excellent productions. Saw A Christmas Carol and I cried. Absolutely fantastic.
Sarah Weber
It’s so beautiful inside! Saw the Christmas carol and was blown away. So amazing!
Sue Vetter
Enjoyed the 2022 performance of A Christmas Carol. It was fabulous.
Deborah Sawyer
We saw Daddy Long Legs last night. I love a theatre in the round. There is not a bad seat in the house. I have been to several performances over the years and you guys never disappoint.
Kristi Odom
Chaps was sooo funny. The acting was perfect, great singing. I haven't laughed so hard in a while. I needed that happy to come out! Thank you actors! Thank you Hale Theater for you quality plays & performances.
Matt Martin
Saw Rainmaker on Thursday night with friends. About 60% full. They require masks. Great production. Stage is circular.
Linda Zander
We went to see the Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Everly Brothers Concert. It was wonderful, not a bad seat in the hole room.
So much talent, great concert.
Joyce Baker
We have had season tickets for ten years. The quality of the plays/musicals has steadily improved over the decade. Great value for live performances. Always good entertainment!!
Rebecca Thomas
We really enjoyed the production. The staff was friendly and helpful. The whole atmosphere was welcoming, well . . . Except for the mask policewoman who tirelessly and politely asked patrons to wear the mask correctly. If you don't want to wear a mask, maybe you should not go. The actors were very good, the music was fabulous, costumes were outstanding. The only thing I really didn't like was the price. $40 is hard to come by when you have a large group, and we are social creatures. We like to go with family and friends. When we first started going to Hale Center Theater it was half that. Maybe I'm just stuck in the past.
Anne Alderman
Thoroughly enjoyable! We saw the " who done it". Definitely will go again. Thank you to all the actors. You were fabulous!
Bob Rowland
Great Shows, All seats good views.
Mandy Torres
Amazing performance of A Christmas Carol! I loved the theater!
Linda Pickett
We love the plays we’ve seen at this theater. However I took my granddaughter to Steel Magnolias and was very disappointed because the actors spoke so fast we didn’t understand about 90% of the dialogue. I know my comprehension is slow because I’m 75 yrs old. However most of the guests were seniors as well. That’s the only play that I’ve experienced that. I’m just asking Hale to be aware.
This is an awesome little theater. No bad seats. We’re fortunate to have it here.
frank german
Great cast but small theater. Was amazed by how great everything was. The staff where super friendly and helpful.will be back for sure.
Vicki L
Not a bad seat in the house. Loved attending this venue for an evening of laughs and entertainment. Always fun.
Bob Wehrenberg
No matter where you sit, you're up close & personal. Beautiful!
Shelby Chasten
Lucky Stiff was so great! Great cast, amazing voices. It was a really great time!
Tyler Martinez
My family and I were recently transported to 1843 and witnessed the ghostly hallucinations of a miserly old man on the the eve of Christmas after he ate a bit of potato.
Or perhaps by some magic performed by the fine staff at the Hale we witnessed the power of redemption and repentance on one of the greatest holidays ever invented.
Thanks for the great experience Hale Theater!
Nancee Scott
First time at this theater and saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Beautiful, small theater with seating all around. The acoustics and lighting were great, performance was fantastic with both local and national actors and actresses. The concessions were sparse. I did not give it 5 stars as a staff member had to rearrange people in the seats and caused a delay in start time by 15 minutes. Why they couldn’t have done this when they issued the reserved seats I can’t guess. Some of the guests were fragile and took awhile to have to get up, navigate the stairs, and move. And it is mandatory to still wear masks. The same staff member did this during the intermission. I thought that was unnecessary as by this time it had been over an hour that people were sitting ‘too close’. I will wait to return for the next performance until the mask mandate is over.
Howard Smith
This is one of the valley's best venues for plays and shows. Been going here for about 15 years and have never seen a bad show. I loved the Elvis tribute they had a few months ago and also the Patsy Cline tribute show. Just saw The Rainmaker last week and it was awesome!
William Clove
This is my favorite place to come for live shows. The Hale is newly renovated and looks spectacular. Every seat (I'm not joking) is great. The staff are friendly, they treat you respectably and as humans. The quality of the shows are top-notch. I unfortunately live out of town now but still come back here for shows and whenever I visit I check to see what's showing at the Hale. Highly recommend!
Bill S
My wife and I were given a gift card to the theater I was NOT as excited as she was. After enjoying dinner in the area of the theater we made are way to the theater and to my surprise after watching and enjoying the play "Big River" we were hooked and have enjoyed several plays since.
Paisy White
The show was awesome, and you could tell they really put hard work into the sets, the lighting, and the whole thing
Brianna Green
Love the plays they put on here! Great location in the heart of DT Gilbert. Not a bad seat in the house. Definitely will come back again for more shows. We enjoy the Addams Family.
Johanna Watson
Such a cool little 360 theater! We saw "A Christmas Carol" and it was done so well. The graveyard scene was especially well executed, and as we walked out they even had machines making it "snow" which was really fun.
Drew Moore
Always a blast! Great cast and friendly staff.
Jason Cunningham
A great place to see a play. We were really impressed with Newsies
Bill Williams
Great venue to see a play, no bad seats!
Teresa Loumena
This is such a great venue to see a play. It's got a great vibe, especially during the holidays. Christmas Carol has become a family tradition
Jeffrey Carlson
We truly enjoyed "Chaps"! Hilarious and very well acted! The musicians were wonderful and of course theater is outstanding!! Thanks for the memories!!
Keith Johnson
Theater-in-the-round at its best! Literally every seat in the house is the best seat in the house. Hale Theater consistently attracts some of the very best performing talent in the Valley and puts on amazing show after amazing show. Their shows are so much fun!
Dale Eagar
Saw Guys & Dolls with family and we all thoroughly enjoyed the night out. The experience pleasantly surprised me. Though smallish, the theater is nice, but the real surprise was the quality of the performance. The acting, singing and dance numbers were all very good.
Doug Karper
A great venue with very talented performers.
Jerry Newitt
The venue is intimate. The shows are clean and entertaining. The effects, lighting and sound are surprisingly good. Generally, the performers are top notch and convincing.
linda beitzel
Excellent play! I especially liked the actor who portrayed Elwood. Of course the white rabbit was great job too 🤣 Not a bad seat in the house …
Michael Miller
Great theater, everyone should try it!
Tony Starr
Love the productions at the Hale Theater, they are always so professional.
Annette Trujillo
The most wonderful theatre! We've been to two shows and both were fantastic. We will definitely buy a season pass next year!
Christopher Lucero
Loved the play last night. A Christmas Carol never disappoints. The acting was great. This venue is very intimate.
COVID restrictions are in place. Only 36% capacity. Masks required at all times. Sanitation happens on all hand rails and touchable surfaces.
My family and I will be back for sure. Thank you to all the actors and the behind the scenes people, great show!!!
Aaron Dailey
I've only gone once but I had a blast. The actors were awesome!!! I caught the showing of "The Importance of being Earnest" which is my favorite play and they did an outstanding job. My chick even got into it and she has been to a play in years. The seats were comfortable (I am a big dude) which is huge in my book. Tickets were priced well (After the show I would have paid more). I definitely would go back to see almost anything else. Veeeery well done.
Ida Moise
Very helpful to get us good tickets to see play A Christmas Carol
Dan Thomas
Everything was excellent. The voices, the acting, the choreography, the lighting.
Miki Jimenez
Always love this personal theater throuought the year!
Joshua Smith
We just saw the Christmas carol and it was amazing! I want to go to so many more shows here!! Such a good quality time with family and I was very impressed by the acting!
Debra ~
Expanding! A wonderful Community theater. A great place for a date or an afternoon out with friends. Old Town Gilbert is growing leaps and bounds.
Dandi Wright
I've been to this theater many times and each experience has been delightful. Great, quality actors and fun, creative sets. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house either. Also, I like that they keep the plays family friendly. Plus, my kids love meeting the characters in the lobby after each play.
Rita S
This was our first time to Hale Centre Theatre,
and we all enjoyed the show very much. I wasn't sure how I felt about a circle stage, but they make it work. We will definitely be going to more shows.
Janelle Black
Great atmosphere and fun place to watch a show!
Justin Bowser
An incredible experience. Went to see Christmas Carol, and had a far better time than I had expected! Great seats, great environment, great performances by all. Highly recommended!
Mindy Jossefides
We had a great experience at Hale theater. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. It is small and you are so close to the actors that you feel much more immersed in the production. Loved it! Looking forward to the next performance in a few weeks.
Jenny Coombs
I love live theater, we saw Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and loved it! Very intimate, cast was fantastic, singing and dancing top notch! Can't wait for the next performances!
ArizGirl 2001
I have Hale season tickets and have been going to their wonderful Christmas Carol show annually for many years! It's by far the best in the valley, so don't miss it!
Linda Vaughn
I absolutely love going to this place! Every seat is a great seat. This theatre is very intimate and friendly. Make sure you get there early enough to allow time to find a parking spot. The patrons seem to be a bit older but there is always a good mix of generations in the audience and in the cast! It is lovely to see all types of actors. I go to this theater as much as I can. I watched Kiss and Tell most recently and it was a one of the best plays I have seen in a long time. It was hilarious! Great job to everyone who works hard to bring such great entertainment to our community! If you haven't seen a play at this theatre you are definately missing out on something very
special.
Bud Zomok
Wonderful theater. Musical was fantastic. Love that the theater has seating on all four sides of the stage. One gets to feel up close with the actors.
Shawn Alanis
We saw the Christmas Story here and it was AMAZING! if you have to opportunity to go and see one of the Hale Centre productions, it's a must! You will not regret it!
Justin Hiner
I have seen 2 performances at this amazing little theatre! Last night A Christmas Carol with Corey Mccloskey and it was fantastic. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating and the theatre is always well cleaned. So far I have not had a bad seat and does not seem you could get a bad seat. The performers are always great and skilled and I am always wowed by every show. Will be coming back here to see every performance I can!!
Nanette Aguero
We just saw Footloose and the cast was AWESOME!!! the guy who played Willard,and of course, Ren were sooo good. WELL DONE 👏 😀 …
Dennis Bischoff
Attended a play and bought season tickets. Looking forward to the season's plays. Loved it. The actors seem dedicated.
Kelly Dougherty
My husband and I went with my parents to see the Musical Play "Sister Act." The Actors,Singers gave amazing performances. Our family had a great time, laughing throughout the whole play. My parents have been there several times, but my Husband has never been to a live Musical before. I loved it and I was presently surprised that my Husband did too! We will definitely go again.
Julie Sessions
Very entertaining. I didn't know what to expect as this was my first time going to Hale Centre Theater - Arizona, but I was very impressed. The performers were high energy throughout the 2 and 1/2 hour performance, running up and down scaffolding , without sounding winded, which is pretty amazing. When you go to see something like this, it's usually to get away and just have a good time. I had a great time .
John Matson
Fun,exciting, enthusiastic. Good talent. The show was real. Each character had their own personality that made me love them all. I'm going back for more.
Brenda Walczak
Great performance. Staff was very helpful. Would have liked an alcoholic beverage option. Seating a little tricky, when needing to use restroom. Long line for ladies bathroom.
Maryn
Great local theater! It's a relatively small venue, which can be a really nice change of pace in the right shows. The stage is circular too, and they always utilize that in unique ways. The prices are fairly reasonably, and their team is always super talented. Would definitely recommend!
Frances Tubbs
Charlie's Aunt play was superb. Actors were spot on in this very funny farce!
Jan Long
We live near Ashland Oregon where Shakespeare theater is wonderful. But the Nunsense play was fabulous and so so funny. Talent was great and much appreciated…
Vanessa Mills
Great theater in the round with very entertaining casts! The variety of musicals and plays is fantastic. There are talented actors and actresses and it is fun to see them in more than one show. The location in downtown Gilbert is wonderful with great restaurants within walking distance, and there is free parking right by the theatre.
Willard
Fantastic community theater in a really great location. Tons of different restaurants nearby and walking/running trails, Old Town Gilbert area. We've been to Hale Theater for various productions and all have been excellent. We love the layout with the stage in the center, and cozy interactive audience vibe.
Fiona Robison
What a great small professional the theater!. The theater in the round makes every seat in the theater a great seat. You can see all of the nuances of the actors faces and the beauty of the costumes up close and personal. The quality of the acting and the singing were superb. And the pricing was amazingcompared to all of the other places that we have looked around here. Would definitely recommend.
Jacqueline H
Beautiful and quaint theater. Definitely enjoyed seeing Daddy Longlegs. Can't wait to get back for another show sooner than later.
Scott Sessions
I had no idea how enjoyable this could be. “Theatre in the Round” sounded interesting, but… Once things start, it really takes off, with action coming from all four corners, and the balconies too! The realness of the actors performing so close to you is unnerving at first, then very entertaining. Much better than a movie.
Danny Middleton
Just saw Brigadoon. AMAZING! Everything was spot on: the singing, the dancing, the costumes and lighting. The props were very clever especially for in-the-round. We will be back!
Howard Smith
Great show last night of Steel Magnolias. It was as good as any that I have seen, of any show. Hale always does a wonderful job. Go see a show there and you won't be disappointed!
harla ryder
Love the seating around the stage & no view is obscured. Great design. Can't wait to go see another show!
Carla Antola
Very cute venue, the actors and singers are phenomenal. The dancing could use a little polish, but overall really good, I was impressed. We had a great time
Brad Fawcett
A really wonderful place to see a play/show. Obviously they're not doing extravagant broadway staging, but the prices are great and the theater in the round is incredibly intimate. We've seen 2 really great shows here and we love supporting local businesses like this.
Theresa Cross
Hale theaters never disappoints. They always put on excellent productions and Music Man was another great show!
C Curtis
HOLY COW. Fantastic singing and acting. Insanely high production quality. Tons of remarkable costumes, props, set designs, lighting effects, and audio effects. The whole thing blew my mind away from the time I walked in until the time I left. Truly unforgettable.
Also, all the seats are comfortable and provide quality visibility, and the show I saw was perfectly family friendly.
Valerie Bame
The production of Sister Act was fantastic!! Highly recommend.
Connie Struve
Great performances. So talented. We love the flex pass option and have great tickets for every performance. Lots of parking. And many restaurants in walking distance.
Dave Olsen
Very well done shows, will go back again and again
Just got back from the concert at Hale center theater and it was great. Hope they keep getting musical concerts
Freedom Coach
Have been to 6 shows this year and each one memorable in their own way. The talent is superb and entertainment value high! They are so good you will want to see their shows more than once.
Dave Wheeler
Hale Theater's production of 'A Chrismas Carol' was fabulous! Wonderful family activity. The acting was great and powerful. Best scene was the graveyard scene with ghost of Christmas future - many actors dance around then suddenly lay down and raise gravestones over their chest, creating the perfect ambiance of the future rolling forward quickly resulting in many being interned! Wow! Deep impact! Well choreographed.
Natalie Kennedy
We’ve come here a few times over the years and have always had a great time. The shows are always well done, highly entertaining, and family friendly. The theater is in the round, so all seats are great and give an up close and personal view of the show. Even my kids, who don’t normally enjoy musicals don’t mind spending family time here. Highly recommend!
Gary Gilliam
I regularly visit the Hale Theatre, and I have never seen a show I didn't enjoy. In my opinion everything they do is first rate. There isn't a bad seat in the house.
Dan Callahan
We have been going to the Hale Theater for over 15 years now. The acting and singing is awesome for the price. I always walk out of the performances with a smile.
Luanne Stroke
My family has been to the Hale Theater at least 5 times now! The atmosphere is so nice. The acting and singing superb! We have brought our 2 granddaughters to a few of the productions and they have just loved them! I would highly recommend the Hale Theater to anyone who wanted a nice evening out with the best entertainment!
Harry Neff
Really good show schedule. Our initial visit was enjoyable, performed in their practice facility. Friendly staff and owners.
Charlotte Arrington
My first time here. Saw the production of Annie and it was delightful. The cast was very talented. They have a special on ticket prices. If you buy ticket to five productions you can get then for $124. There isn't a bad seat in the house.
Theresa Ridgeway
The Dolly Parton tribute was really good! Small intimate setting and good acoustics. Nice place!!
Michelle Hensley
We've really enjoyed attending performances at Hale Centre Theatre. The staff is great and the shows have been excellent. Thumbs up!
nick buta
H.C.T. is a great venue for some amazing local theater. I have come to shows here before, and today's performance of a newer musical, "Bright Star", was pretty perfect. All of the cast members were talented and believable enough to take me on their journey but lead actress Heidi-Liz Johnson really touched me with her heartfelt performance. The theater is "in the round" and the performers move about so there really aren't any bad seats. Check Hale out, and really try to see this production of "Bright Star".
Douglas Brown
Great venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Saw The Music Man, excellent production. Top notch!
James Richardson
We've seen two shows this year, and both were a lot of fun. They were plays of old movies, Brigadoon and Footloose.
Susan Barone
Such a great little theater. Not a bad seat in the house. Great group of actors that love what they do. Definitely recommend this venue!
Francine Alexander
This is an amazing theater. We haven't seen a bad show yet. All the seats are good, as it is theater in the round. Last night's offering of Big Fish was superb. The casting is always spot on and especially the cast of this show. I laughed and cried...Hale theater is affordable and always a good choice!
Margaret Seideman
Always an excellent entertainment with awesome talent
Tony Frisina
Hale has become a staple of our date nights. Each year we save a little by buying season tickets. We've never had a single issue with will call, never a technical issue during the show, never a cancelation. The productions are always fully professional and the actors have always performed admirably or even outstandingly. We truly look forward to our Hale Theatre nights. I cannot recommend them strongly enough.
Kevin Abreu
Great small theater production with outstanding talented voices and actors. Well worth the time and money. Great entertainment.
Dani Yardley
Amazing theater. You can see the pride they take in making your experience a positive one. Their shows are professional grade and it shows. Even through the pandemic they strive for cleanliness, professionalism and most important, a fun , entertaining getaway!
John Bassingthwaite
Every show we have attended has been highly entertaining, fun, and performed with excellence and class! Theater in the round creates an intimate atmosphere, great for group outings or romantic dates! New Year's Eve party last night - one night early - so we get to party twice this year! Love it love it!
jeff
Great local venue without a bad seat. Good place to catch a fun show.
Shelly Baldenegro
The only reason why I gave it four stars is because of the lack of leg room. Otherwise, the experience is completely enjoyable. I can't believe what this theater can do. Our latest play was singing in the rain. They actually had "rain" during singing in the rain number. Several audience members were hit with water. Even with the lack of leg room i would still go to enjoy a show. They have some really good talent appearing there. It's a perfect way to spend an evening, make sure to visit one of the local restaurants while your downtown. The Liberty Market is a slice of heaven.
Tim Doran
This theater was a great little experience for the family and we will absolutely be coming back again for future shows.
Shane Creamer
This is a smaller theater that does not have a classic 'stage' where there is a real stage with sets & backdrops, an orchestra, and then seating. This is more of a basketball court with seating all the way around it with the play in the middle with small props constantly being wheeled back and forth. This frequently breaks the 4th wall for me unfortunately.
While I do miss a real stage, what this theater lacks in facilities is more then made up for by the selection of plays and the actors & actresses who participate, which is first rate.
If you want to have an excellent night out with your spouse or family for dinner & a show, this is a fine way to do so.
Lindsey
Love the remodel and the plays are top notch. Not a bad seat in the house
gary samos
Saw the Rave Ons today, great show. Excellent theater, not a bad seat in the house
Kristin Hansen
Great little venue! Black box style, in the round, 360 degree stage. They have a hometown feel, but this is a big production with big name shows! I have a friend who was in a show. I was amazed to hear that they pay their actors and each show run is performed 30-40 times. They know their stuff and are well directed. Especially popular on weeknights for snowbirds. Weekends, for everyone.
Susan D Chemey
Nice little theatre in the round, nice variety of shows. We always have a good time!
Deanna Robertson
We saw Aida on closing night (July 1st). We've been coming there for years, and it was FANTASTIC!! The best performance I've seen there to date. The cast was amazing, the story-line was powerful and the musical numbers were beautiful and breathtaking! You could tell the production was well thought out, the casting was perfect, and their performance was flawless. Even my teenage daughter cried and said that was probably her favorite play so far. Thank you for another wonderful night!
K Stewart Gorman
First time there. Employees were friendly show was great. Mask not mandatory. Small intimate setting close to performers. Will go again.
Cyril Becquart
Great little theater. Recently renovated. We went to see "and then there were none" which was absolutely great.
Gina Britt
Phenomenal show! I knew of a few of Patsys songs but dont listen to them. The gal who played Patsy did an incredible job. "Louise" was a great supporting role. I would see it again!
Rose Arvizu
My son's and I came to the Hale Centre Theatre for the first time to see " Dirty Rotten Scoundrels". What a fantastic cast!!!👏👏👏 I will spread the word. Thank you all for a great show! …

Beautiful restored venue. A "theater in the round" experience. It's 360 degree view to the stage in the center of the room. Actors use the entire theater including enter/exit via the aisles to the stage floor. Great sound and not a bad seat in the house. Beautifully restored in art deco style. Seats just under 400.
This is a local performance theater. There is a season, and annual passes are available.
If you get a chance, see a show here. You'll love it.
Samuel Young
A fantastic place to be entertained. I've also been to the Orem Hale Theater and this was just world's different. Very engaging cast for A Christmas Carol and the facilities are top notch. Very well maintained. We sat on the very edge of the north section but still felt very much able to see and be involved with the play.
Debbie Beringer
It's a very nice theater and the play that I saw last night was awesome. However it was overly cold in there. If they had made it even 5゚ warmer it would have been a much more enjoyable experience.
Renee lightcap
Cast was fabulous! Professional show.....
James Heartney
Intimate theatre-in-the-round featured a great production of Disney's Freaky Friday.
Taylor Hudson
Had a wonderful evening at Hale! it's one of my favorite theaters to see Productions at in the valley, because they are always just so good. It's a Wonderful building, and you can always find fantastic staff, beautiful Productions, and wonderfully talented actors here. A wonderful family friendly entertainment hub in Gilbert.
Maggie M
I have literally grown up going to Hale, and I've loved every second of every play I've been to. All around awesome place and I can't wait to see what's next!
Kara Fairchild
Cute little theater! We saw Singin'in the Rain and the cast did an amazing job! Great performance guys! I wasn't sure how you would be able to do the scene where he is dancing and singing in the rain but you did great and I was really impressed!
Anthony Kerkett
Saw Footloose here. Great theater.
B Reeves
Fun, cozy and a great show. Worthy.
Kathy Johnson
John Denver, Glenn Campbell, Kenny Rodgers Tribute was great! Everyine in the band was a talented oerformer
Diana Follansbee
Wonderful Actors !
Great Play!
Daria Stellwag
I've been to the Hale Theatre twice now. It is a small, quaint venue that produces good quality productions. There is not a bad seat in the house; because it is a small venue all the seats have a very good view. The location is very close to quality restaurants in this area making it easy to have dinner and a play without moving your vehicle.
Trent Day
Very entertaining! The playhouse is currently under construction, but still operating. The staff is doing a good jobof navigating around the "dust". All were very friendly and helpful. Pics of the updated final look are on display and look very nice. I'll definitely go back.
Jamie G
Wonderful production of The Little Mermaid! There wasn't a bad seat in the house, intimate setting and entertaining!
Alan Collier
Great place to experience the theater. Sure, there are some three star and some five star performances--but so goes live theater! it is 5 stars for the experience and the asset to the community that it is! ( I have attended shows in SLC and Gilbert occasionally over nearly 30 years--definitely recommend the experience!)
Jordan Lynn (Ottley)
I've been to Hale Centre Theatre in multiple occasions now and it never disappoints. The shows are well done, the employees are kind and helpful. Right now they are remodeling and I'm so thrilled to see the new design. The pictures showing what it's supposed to look like look fantastic!
Connie BAKER
A wonderful theater to go to. There is not a bad seat in the whole theater. Love it have been going there for years.
Marg Touet
Beautiful performance and staff very nice.
Brianna Munoz
Amazing little theatre! Went to see the Christmas carol this month and it was one of the best plays I have seen in awhile. It was beautifully put together and everything was just perfect! I live in Avondale and still drove the extra way to see this and I would do it again in a heart beat! So worth it! (:
Layton Baker
A great theater in the round that captures excellent local theater talent who perform great traditional plays and musicals that the entire family can enjoy. Prices are kept at a reasonable level for such outstanding performances. As someone who has both acted and sung, I feel my assessment of Hale is fair and accurate.
Patrick Eugenis
This is a cozy, community theater. Audience size is small. The stage is in the center of the facility. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. The cast is quite talented. I chose 4 stars instead of 5 because while musicals are consistently done quite well, the non-musical comedies are not as polished.
Dan C
Fun show especially for a smaller theater! The female lead had a great voice too
Patty Truckle
The play was excellent, I have brought 6 or I people from Springdale in Mesa for the shows for 3 years now and everyone raved about l the good shows we are still able to see on our senior years. It was great to see Bill and Sue who are staying so young by still performing.
Michael Lyon
My family and I have seen dozens of shows here. There is not a bad seat in the house. Well worth the small price for admission. If you like musicals, check this place out. There are many places to eat before the show within easy walking distance.
Jon Bruning
A great theater venue in an easy to access location in downtown Gilbert. It has an unique "arena" style feel and lively, talented actors.
My wife, friends and I have enjoyed having a quick meal a short walk away and then taking in a show here after. It makes for a nice night out.
Corinne McCleve
Comfortable and convenient seating--makes you feel a little more involved in the show. We saw west side story and for the most part enjoyed the acting. Singing talent was great and inspiring. Hoping to go back again soon.
David Worley
Outstanding performances! I'm always amazed at the talent on stage and how creatively the Hale uses its performance space. Further, this is an outstanding venue for value and quality shows. No wonder the seats sell out and the place is full at every performance.
Andrew Ostrowski
Fantastic local gem! Great performances featuring local talent. Small theater, not a bad seat in the house.
Lori Dunne
Love this place, not a bad seat in the house. The talent is fabulous, wonderful small town vibe. We saw Annie tonight, have been to a couple of other shows No No Nanette, & Oklahoma...they were all great. I highly recommend it.
Danny Farmer
This is a great hometown local theater. If you are expecting high quality broadway-style plays oh, this is not the place for you. It is excellently put on and produced for the low budget and the shows they put on are popular plays. If you get a chance to go there take advantage of it and enjoy a good play.
Mary Shane
My friends and I have had season tickets for years. The shows are always spectacular! There is never a bad seat with the theatre in the round. We just saw Singing in the Rain and it was superb!
Hannah Cass
I've seen every play since The Scarlet Pimpernel. It never ceases to surprise me how beautiful the vocals are and how creative the performances are. The incorporation of the props and stage is amazing. I cannot wait for the outside construction to be done and for the next time I get to go to the theater.
Debi DeFoer
This was my first musical. I loved the performance. The singing and dancing were top rate. I enjoyed the performance very much.
jerry brown
Quality well known plays in a small theater, probably less than 200 seats. The theater seating surrounds the stage. There are no bad seats. Productions always have a cast suited for their parts. Especially like the musicals, with the added dimension of the choreography. Costuming is well done. Excellent night's entertainment, dinner in Gilbert and the play. We love it. We drive 35 miles to see these productions. Broadway quality theater in Gilbert, Az? Amazing.
Donna Hernandez
1st time at Hale theater for Tribute to Patsy Clone. Seating is amazing. The show was fabulous and everyone was so friendly. Already looking for more shows!
Chris Woodard
A wonderful place to see a play. Both musicals and comedies. They have individual and season ticket sales options available. Seating is reserved and it is 360 degrees so every seat has an excellent view of the play. Intermission is at the half way point of each play and lasts for 15 minutes. Each play lasts approximately 2 hours.
Michael Schaffer
Great local live theater. Wonderful variety of plays. Excellent venue with seating on four sides and most seats only a few rows from the cast.
Linda Campbell
Hale Theater is in downtown Gilbert right across from the water tower. The building is being expanded to include classrooms for acting, singing and dance - three of the talents used throughout the plays.
The talent shows when the actors and actresses enter the stage. ( In the round so they must play to all 4 directions.)
These people remember innumerable lines, many songs each performance, and a multitude of dances to go with each song. There are some actors who remind me of a young Dick Van Dyke with the flips and pratfalls. Others are reminiscent of Ginger Roger's and Fred Astaire.
If you enjoy plays and want an evening out that won't soon be forgotten, go to the Hale.
Jackie Behm
Every performance we have seen has been incredible. A Christmas Carol is my family's favorite AZ tradition. We usually see a few shows a year and there is honestly not a bad seat in the house!
Ervin Anderson
Feb26...Thoroughly enjoyed an open stage production of The Marvelous Wonderettes. Cozy, comfortable, live, small venue, with an energetic cast. Rather acoustically challenging place, with lots of hard surfaces. Nice, comfortable seating, and not a bad location anywhere. If you have the opportunity, check out their production lineup. Well worth the investment.
Connie Tank
This is such a great theater. Seating is in the round. It is a small but has wonderful acoustics. Always amazed at how well the costumes are done. It's lively, fun and very professional. A favorite!
Ryan Blum
Been to this theatre 5 times and love it. Hale is a theatre in the round so there truly is not a bad seat amongst the total of 250 or so. Acting has been great in all shows, staff has been wonderful, and it is physically in a great location where you can make a night of it with dinner at downtown Gilbert. Would recommemd to anyone.
Samantha Fillerup
It's a really nice theatre. Newsies was really good and a lot of the actors were great, especially Les.
I didn't love the choreography. It lacked a feeling of spontaneity. Most of the dance sequences seemed to be comprised of the same few ballet moves.
The production of Newsies that I saw at ALA's Queen Creek High school was one of the best I have seen, rivaling the Broadway production.
Chip Stoecker
Always enjoy the Hale performances. Going over the top however in Covid restrictions. Not selling concessions (water) when I asked for a place to go get a bottle of water, they replied not within walking distance. I walked to Liberty Market where they gave me a cup with a snap lid (free). I returned to my seat and they came and said I couldn't bring outside drinks in. I showed them, just water, they said no. I can bring in a bottle with a screw top, but not a cup with a lid ?????
Ruthann Baldwin
Loved the Music Man Play. Great venue! Great seats everywhere! So fun! Great entertainment.
Brent Cooke
The Hale is an awesome community theatre !!!! We enjoy it here tremendously. The stage is round and the seats surround the theatre. There is always a good view. The staff is great and the performances have been wonderful. We have season tickets and always look forward to the next performance.
Mary Ellsworth
We had a fabulous time seeing "A Christmas Carol" at a 5pm showing! The play was magnificent and I plan to go see it next year with just my husband. I was nervous taking a total of 15 children ages 8 to 12 with 5 adult chaperones to this play. However, I wanted to expose these girls to the arts. It turned out wonderfully! Hale theater was very accommodating to our large young group! Hale Theater’s customer service was superb!
LoveUSA
Saw A Christmas Carol matinee performance Actors all very talented. Great aesthetics and fun entertainment. Lively atmosphere in downtown Gilbert surrounded by fabulous restaurants and pubs.
Robert Miller
Hale Theatre is a fun experience. I have been with my family about 5 times and have enjoyed every show. It is a nice small theater with no bad seats.
Brad Sanders
We went to see a production of Newsies and it was very well done. The theater itself was being remodeled so there was a lot of construction mess but it looks like it will be very nice when completed. We will definently be going to more productions here. The parking is in a lot a few hundred yards away but the parking lot and the walk to the theater were both pleasant.
Jeremy Barr
Awesome place currently under construction to expand but still open, and like Amanda Valenzuela said with a sprained ankle the show must go on. Watch your classics here and modern plays. My family has never been disappointed been going here for the past 10 years. Last night was chitty chitty bang bang (great show).
Gail Depadre
Always professional and well done. Enjoyed Annie very much! My 6 year old was singing the songs two days later and wanted to see the play again! Reccomend Hale Theater to all my friends. Buying extra tickets for Singing in the Rain!
Kait Russell
Hale is an incredible theater. Family friendly and very affordable. The shows here are like little pieces of Broadway. Their seasons are full of dynamic shows, musicals and plays alike. A definite must-visit in the East Valley!
Laura Hershey
Small theater, no bad seats. Acoustics are perfect. Props are top-notch.
BABA YAGA 9
Even if your not a theatre fan this theatre will make you one. Every play always brings you into the world the Hale theatre creates. A Christmas Carol was beyond amazing and the actor who played scrooge was so great and hilarious. This play will definitely put you in the Christmas spirit.
Heather McClung
So much fun kicking the Christmas Season off with the amazing talent and hard work by the Hale theater cast and crew. Amazing production you won't regret. The music was amazing!!
Ron Hutt
Been going regularly. Usually a good experience.
Paul Lewkowski
Once again Hale theater delivered a wonderful musical with a great cast!!!
Eric Johnson (EricintheDark)
This is an incredible theatre! We saw the Christmas Carol here, Ave it was incredible all the live action special effects try had! Also, they had Cory from Fox news play Scrooge! It was a wonderful blend of acting and singing.
Jennifer Trees
Absolutely amazing! I kept getting sucked into the play that it actually felt like it was real! (This coming from a millennial where nothing amazes us) and the actors were amazing, you could tell they love what they do with the energy they put into their acting. Absolutely amazing.
Joseph Hoover
We have been season ticket holders at The Hale Theater for a couple of years. We have enjoyed seeing several plays during this time. We've never had a disappointing performance. Always top notch.
loraine scheuring
It's a little messy while they are expanding their space but not too crazy. Parking might be a problem on the weekends. Get there early if you want to park nearby. There are lots of great places to eat around there you could park and walk to most of them.
The shows at Hale theater are always top notch. I have been to quite a few shows and they have all been great. They do a lot in a small space.
Jeffrey Debbie Saylor
Alsome plays. Seats are great. Sit anywhere and you can see everything. Staff is great. Theatre stage is on the smaller side, but that gives you the feeling lake your at home watching a play. If I had to say anything negative is I wish they had more afternoon shows.
Donna Burgess
New to the area, we bought tickets to John Loves Mary last fall. We were so impressed that we bought a Flex Pass adding four more productions. We've seen three of those four and have never been disappointed!
shawna collins
First time here and it was fantastic! Great acting, beautiful venue! Worth the drive from North Scottsdale. Anytime a show has Alaina Beauloye involved make sure to see it!
Diane Schneider
We had a wonderful time their past New Years at the 4pm show of Barefoot In The Park! We laughed so hard and enjoyed every minute of it. We can hardly wait till we can go back there again.
Steven Kok
Been here once with an invite from my co-worker who has a family member that works there. What a nice venue and the show we watch was call "Sounds of Music". Its a 360 view stage and you can get up, close and personal to the actors. Will definitely be back.
Paula Koszarek
This is a great little theater that always has something going on! It's within walking distance to many restaurants in downtown Gilbert that adds to its benefits. The actors I believe are mostly local and seating is intimate so there's not a bad seat in the venue.
Sherry Twitchell
I really enjoy the Hale Theatre, in Gilbert. I just saw Always Patsy Cline...it was excellent. If you have not attended a show there...you should. It is a great intimate setting...probably not a bad seat in the venue.
Greg Wood
The Hale troupe always put on a wonderful show. Just saw Sister Act with my family and we all had a wonderful time. Full house, intimate setting, great production!
Beau Frusetta
Absolutely loved this place. My wife and I went and saw A Christmas Carol with my in-laws for the second year in a row. I really like the renovations they have done over the last year, they have definitely brightened up the place and looks more like the res of downtown Gilbert...
Robert Stewert
Great theater! This was our first visit here and we were not disappointed at all! The play a Christmas carol was great and the acting was fantastic. Highly recommend it for a night out in Gilbert.
Dan Hopson
Great experience. Actors were great, the show "Footloose" was amazing in the round.
Nancy Sines
Every show is amazing!!
Nathan Mills
The wife and I go several times a year. Rarely disappointed. This is a tradition of ours. If you've never been to a "theater in the round" performance, it's is fun and unique to be so close to the actors. Location with great dining options all around. Downtown Gilbert is growing and becoming quite hipster. That part kind of sucks.
Curtis Nielson
This was our first time to go to the theater. We had heard how nice it was. We were not let down. The Winderetts, were great. The theater was serious up so all could see and hear. I have hearing aids and had no problem hearing. We will go again.
Rebecca Barnett
Loved my experience here. Holds about 325 people comfortably. The way it is designed, there isnt a bad seat in the house. Reasonably priced it is a real treat to see the plays. It is a beautiful theater.
rhonda wood
The Hale cast is Amazing!! "Guys & Dolls" is another Fantastic show in this darling, intimate venue. It makes you feel like you're on the stage with them!!
Lesley Marshall
Intimate theatre in the round in downtown Gilbert that holds great musical stage shows. Actors are local, professional and a pleasure to watch. If you haven't seen a show at the Hale, make a point of it soon.
R **
We always enjoy coming here and my son had a friend who does plays here with her theatre group. It was clean and they recommend masks
Bruce Monte, Sr.
Always great shows by an enthusiastic group of actors, singers and dancers. Theater in the round makes all seating excellent. Very senior friendly. Make sure you patronize the local restaurants to complete a very enjoyable day.
Richard Kilby
We saw A Christmas Carol on 12/24/18. This intimate theater provides a wonderful setting to enjoy a show. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. There are several restaurants nearby, so we made a day of visiting Gilbert.
Charlotte Domme
We love seeing A Christmas Carol every year at Hale. The intimate theatre experience is well executed by actors with stage crew, lighting and special effects. Well worth the drive on the newly opened 202 section between east and west valley!
Scott Poppe
Enjoyed a wonderful evening performance of A Christmas Carol. The lobby set the scene with festive appointments, the actors and production first-class, and we were even sent off with a hand shake from Scrooge himself and a gentle snowfall. A great Christmas memory!
Janice Luckey
Saw "Music Man" today, it was wonderful! Just what one needs to see into days trying times! Great case!
Maureen Scott
Excellent show. Been coming here for years and have never seen a bad performance.
connie spillum
Have not seen "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" for several years. The amazing actors did a great job 👏 bringing the story to life! …
Mark Mays
We saw a performance of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." The performance was very well done. The actors were all excellent, and the singing was great. The theater is under construction, but it didn't cause any issues with the performance.
Debbie Lilly
Loved the production of Singing in the Rain. Very professional. Lots of fun. Tickets very reasonable. Second time there and will be going more often. Great plays and musicals.
Bill Gluth
Hale Centre Theatre in Gilbert is a hidden gem -- well worth discovering. We saw The Christmas Carol there and it was excellent. Costumes, staging and intimacy with the cast made this a first rate production at a wonderful theatre. We'll be going back for other shows for sure.
lbarsema
Enjoyed an amazing show; music, acting, singing, lights, choreography and costumes were amazing!! Visiting from IL and we loved every moment!
Rick Miranda
Really enjoyed the close proximity to the actors. Very well done and look forward to visiting again. The seats were rather close together but still room to sit comfortably for me.
Michael Carpenter
An excellent way to spend the evening. Hale Theatre creates highly entertaining productions that are a steal for the price. The unique "theater in the round" design is incredibly immersive and you really feel like your in the show. The actors do great jobs and are highly engaging and the staff is all very friendly. Dinner is only a short walk away at any of Gilbert's great restaurants (Pomo Pizzeria being a personal favorite.) If your looking for a date location to impress, this is the place to go.
Carol Paolo
This is such an amazing theater and the casts are unbelievably great. We have been fortunate to see several productions over the years. We look forward to each new season
FHP
We love the intimate experience of this theatre and the shows have all been fabulous!
Robert Thomas
Graceful, small town, friendly, professional entertainment. Excellent prices and flexible services for season ticket holders. All possible confusion removed from choices in seating arrangements - purchasing greatly simplified. Customer satisfaction apparently high.
Marissa Larsen
Great theater. We saw the Little Mermaid and were very impressed. Would give 5 stars but I was really hot during the performance. Some more AC would've been nice.
Gina Cruz
Yet another great performance at Hale. Just saw The Music Man last night. Bravo to the cast and crew. A very enjoyable performance!
Marie Axman
What a great job Hale theater does. Sister Act had talented actors and singers and stayed true to the story line. It's a theater in the round so every seat was great.
Jay Moore
A great community theater that serves up theater in the round. If you're not a fan of this type of setting, you will be disappointed here. I actually enjoy it. But beware, some scenes will but the actors very close to the front row.
Pat Lunne
A small theater that offers wonderful views of the stage in the middle. Also a great sound system. Love the recent show called Always, Patsy!
Robynn Turley
Saw Scarlet Pimpernel for my birthday and absolutely loved it!
Daniel Acosta
Christmas Carol was better than ever, a must see! The theater is doing a great job maintaining physical spacing, cleanliness, and overall dealing with Covid.
Staci Wolff
Wonderful! The theater was cute, cozy, well managed, beautiful, and clean. The Christmas Carol play was wonderful. Actors were Wonderful, play was very enjoyable.
Deann Enos
Actors were amazing. Atmosphere is is very nice. We have been several times and will come back
Colby Goettel
Great theater. Friendly staff. Really interesting with the stage in the center. Loved it.
Steve Shaff
If you haven't been to the Hale, you need to go. As I read about local theaters closing, I worry about the outstanding service this theater provides. Excellent musicals and comedy. To Kill a Mockingbird was outstanding. It's a bargain! Try to attend a few shows, we don't want them closing down.
Jennifer Waktins
I love the circular set up of the theatre, it's very unique and charming. I went to see Annie here and was impressed with the quality of the production, they do a great job putting together a top notch show!
Mark Coulter
We love this place. There are no bad seats. The cast is so talented, and the shows are so entertaining. If you like musicals you have to come here!
Barbara L Mowery
Watched the play "Dear Ruth " with some friends. What a treat! Cute and funny and well done!! Its amazing what these professionals can do with their talents. Not my first play here and it certainly will not be my last!
Rocs Ann Schlimm
The music venues are awesome.
Nicole Davis
Took my daughter to her first play! Great intimate theater. We'll be back for sure .
Tara Halfbubbleoff
We've seen quite a few shows here and all of then have been outstanding! There isn't a bad seat in the house. This a a fantastic lil hidden gem in the heart of Gilbert. Come check it out!
Michael Muse
Love this place. Lots of free parking. Wonderful plays. Good pricing. Feel welcomed there!! I saw ,"Nunsense" last night. I laughed so hard I cried!!
Erin Whitmer
Love the experience of this intimate theater! Always impressed with the acting & singing talent, lots of great places to eat nearby! A wonderful night out!
Jourdan McFarland
I watched A Christmas Carol and it's was done really well! I was impressed for such a small theater! I w will definitely be going again sometime!
jeff brown
Not a bad seat in the house.. wonderful performances. We build the flex pass with 5 or six favorites each season and enjoyed all of the shows we picked.
Madison Dennee
i grew up going here and I love it still go and im 14 and in love with theater now especially musicals!
Vera Bennett
So wish I lived closer. Loved seeing Kyle advancing in his craft. The cast was fantastic. Great space. Not a bad seat in the house.
Adam B.
First time seeing a show here and all I've got to see is I'm impressed. Great talent and great production for a theatre in the round. I will definitely be back in the future!
Paul Colborn
Great local theater company. They perform some of the classics and the more modern productions. The stage is surrounded by seating so you get a unique point of view everywhere.
David Moore
Fantastic play, every seat is like front row. Acting was top notch! Loved how all the actors met us outside. Just a wonderful time!
Barbara rollman
Love everything ❤ about this production...
Well be coming back regularly and bringing friends
Granddaughter and Grandson in law
Brought me to share mother's day 💕
Love them soooo much
Angie Senger
You haven't been here? You are missing out! Season tickets are the way to go. Five of us get together once a month for dinner and then the Hale. Never disappointed!
Curt Hoegh
Lots of fun. Talented actors
Greg S
Delightful. We caught the Christmas Carol, and we very impressed. Well acted, having the stage situated in the middle gives you the sense you are part of the play. Loved it, will come again.
Rita Conner
Amazing theater in the round. "Cash on
Delivery " was a fabulous play. The performers were spot on. Just when you thought it couldn't get any funnier it did and than some.
Timothy Wells
I love going to hail theater. The two downsides are they charge to much for snack but they allow you to bring your own. The other is the lack of bathroom size. Sure you have an intermission but the line for the bathrooms is always uber long.
Larry Farris
What a gem of a theater - 350 seats in the round, great talent, terrific setting, costumes, and effects. Not just a community theater but a community treasure. Have only missed a few shows since we moved here 10 years ago.
Samuel Smith
Cast and crew did a wonderful job on the production of The Little Mermaid. Always in character and friendly to meet afterwards. My wife and I had a great time on our date there.
jorge ricardo cruz
Great venue... Must visit
Steven Wright
Quaint Theatre! We saw Kiss and Tell. Cute story set in the 1940's. The stage is in the middle of the Theatre. We were in the front row. I could have had a conversation with the Actor's. Sorry no pics. I will be going back!
Tanya Lewis
I love their productions! They are so good and really quality productions! I love going with friends and really enjoy how close the seating is to the actors so it really helps you feel like you are there!
