Theater Information
We perform at Mesa Community College Performing Arts Center. The address is 1520 S. Longmore in Mesa. You can see this building from the US60 – it is the building with the red designs! (See the website for the information on these red designs – its an interesting story!)
If you are bringing food or water for the green room, please leave that with Security and they will make sure it gets back. There is a refrigerator for cold items. We will have ice chests for water.
SECURITY INFORMATION
Dancers will have access to the green room thru the main lobby of the PAC. We will have security at the door leading to backstage. Dancers (and volunteers) will need to check in with Security.
Due to space constraints, if you are not on the list as a dancer or volunteer, you will not be allowed backstage. This includes between shows on Saturday.
If you need to speak to your dancer between shows, please let Security or a Board Member know and they will get your dancer for you. For obvious reasons, we will only be able to get your dancer for you during a show in an emergency. Dancers will only be allowed in the lobby during intermission in the case of an emergency.
