Typically there will be 4-5 plays, divided between fall and spring semesters. Tickets (12/2024) are $32 no matter where you sit and they are all pre-assigned at time of purchase, but all 300 seats are very good. There's no transaction fee if ordered online or in person at the box office. If done by telephone there's a single $4.50 fee per order (regardless of how many seats are bought) but you get to handpick your seats via phone. Parking is tough but nights and weekends the Park/Speedway public garage is free and less than two blocks away. Bathrooms are clean, spacious, elegant. And there are ample sitting areas in the lobby and also semi-shaded outside (for intermission or early arrivers). Two drinking fountains inside but no concessions. Students get 1/2-priced tickets and seniors get -$2 off.

Last night was my first visit to the Tucson Symphony The imposing Brutalist exterior of the Linda…read moreRonstadt Music Hall isn't visible from the street. It's tucked away a short walk off of Church Street. Here is last night's program: Carl Maria von Weber: Oberon Overture Maurice Ravel: Mother Goose Einojuhani Rautavaara: Cantus Arcticus, Concerto for Birds and Orchestra Igor Stravinsky: Firebird Suite I was here for one reason: Rautavaara. Cantus Arcticus was the first work I heard by this Finnish composer years ago. It's an ethereal wave of sound; such a haunting piece that is backed by the soundtrack of Arctic birds. It's rarely played by American orchestras so it was thrilling to hear this in person. Every time I hear it, I feel as if I'm standing in a frozen landscape. The only drawback to this wonderful experience was the limited acoustics of the hall. The space doesn't match the quality of these talented musicians. Is that a reason not to go? Not at all. There is another performance tomorrow. If you have the chance to attend, please do. Hearing this rarely played piece is an incredible experience.

If your child has special needs, you may believe you've found a home at CYT when reading this…read moreparagraph from the CYT handbook: "The production artistic team and staff members at CYT are dedicated to welcoming and creating accessibility for kids with special needs and disabilities throughout the production process. CYT enables kids with disabilities to participate fully in all aspects of CYT." Unfortunately, this organization does not put these words into practice. Unless your special needs child is ALSO highly gifted in theater arts, do not expect him/her to receive any kind of a role in a major production. It appears that the philosophy of CYT is to do whatever is necessary to produce the perfect play, not to do whatever it takes to nurture its members.

We saw a delightful story about a caveman who goes on a spiritual journey. The puppets were all so creative and each prop was so well thought out. I should also add that I am 22 years old and went with my 27 year old friend, which goes to show that this place is great for people of all ages! It's also great to know that this is a family run business - grandmother, dad, and daughter. It was also a great touch that they provide free bottled water for the audience. I definitely plan on coming back and would recommend this spot to anyone in Tucson looking for a unique entertainment experience.

So glad I found them and will definitely hire them again!
