    If you want to see quality musical theatre, go to Tempe Center for the Arts and see Kiss Me, Kate. "Kate" is directed by local actor, Jeffrey Middleton, and he has assembled a show that can't be beat this holiday weekend! Pack up the relatives, friends and head on down to Rio Solado, and see this last weekend of classic Cole Porter! Tempe Little Theatre has definietly raised the bar on their product, as "Kate" proves!

    I loved this show, as I do everything Nearly Naked does, but I have to say, that I liked Kiss Me, Kate at Tempe Arts Center more. Go see it if you get a chance!

    I saw this production on opening night and although there were a couple of technical glitches and some (very few) fumbled lines, the content of the show is very thought provoking and amazingly relevent to today (although it is a 20 year old script) Thomas and David are magnificent in extremely demanding roles and the supporting cast is stellar. Once again I am thrilled with the offering that Nearly Naked Theater provides. You must see this show! Collapse

    We went Dec 2006 thinking this would be so much better than the functions at the Pointe. Boy were we wrong. Food was terrible. Cramped with too many people. Little interaction with a keep at a distance Santa. And to the worst part was it was really nothing but a silent auction selling off gift baskets. Lots of sad kids not getting their baskets(which really were nothing special). Even the kids said they didn't want to go back to this event. Collapse

    My family has gone to Breakfast with Santa at the museum for the past several years. Though the meal itself is on par with a Denny's breakfast, the overall experience has been a positive one. The servers are always very attentive. Santa and Mrs. Claus greet each child individually. Stilted-characters make amazing balloon creations. The venue is small enough to enjoy the time with your family. The years the Arizona Puppet Theatre has been there were THE BEST! Carolling, coloring pages, and a picture with Santa. You can purchase raffle tickets, put them towards the gift basket of your choice and hope they call your number. Also a silent auction. For a once a year event, it is worth the price. Collapse

    We have had this group perform for our Retirement Community for the past 3 years. They are wonderful and I would highly recommend them. My residents look forward to their performance twice a year.
