If you really want to see well done musical theatre in the greater Phoenix area, then visit the Tempe Arts Center this holiday weekend and see Kiss Me, Kate, directed by Jeffrey Middleton. Not only is Middleton a wonderful local actor, now he has proven himself as an accomplished director too! There was a cast replacement, a good one too, for Bianca/Lois, so if you saw it before, it's even better! I have seen it twice and will be going back this last weekend with the family, instead of paying for yet another disappointment at the movies! The entire cast rocks, the costumes are bright, and fun, the live band is amazing, and the leads are out of this world! Hopefully Middleton will direct again something soon! This show proves that community theatre is fantastic when it is done right! DON'T MISS THIS SHOW! I smell some Zoni's! Collapse

I’ve never been much of a theater fan so I was unsure of what to expect when I attended the Saturday night performance of A New Brain last week with some of my co-workers...I absolutely loved it. Artists' Theatre Project's production of A New Brain at Soul Invictus blew me away with a talented cast and all encompassing performance. I highly recommend attending A New Brain to anyone looking for an inspirational and fast-paced evening of fun. Collapse

I wasn't sure what to expect, but was blown away. The singing was great, the actors were passionate, and the story fresh and original. Although, philosophically I disagree with the homeless character, the woman who played her was awesome! What a voice! The man who played "the fat nurse" put his heart into it and was a pleasure to watch. I was blown away by what this group accomplished. I haven't had such a great time at a local show in years. Money well spent, extremely entertaining and highly recommended. Collapse

I LOVED this show! I have seen many shows by this company and this is one of my favorites. The acting and singing is incredible. It made you laugh and cry and and the actors were great at capturing your attention and pulling you in. For a small company and location they sure do put on great entertainment! My husband and I always enjoy supporting them. Way to go on another great production! Collapse

It was an excellent play. I had a group of students watch it - they enjoyed it.

I am not an avid fan of theatre. I went to see this with some friends and LOVED it! It was funny, sometimes sad, with a great message. The cast was awesome and very talented! I wouldn't doubt it if some of these actors end up making their marks at larger theater companies such as Phoenix Theater. This would be a testament to their skills. I highly recommend this play to any adults looking for great entertainment at an affordable price. Collapse

This play was great! It was extremely entertaining, not to mention the fact that all of the cast were totally talented - if the audience wasnt busy laughing their tooshes off they were applauding the awesome solo and group numbers. I would recommend this play to anyone looking for a good time on a budget...definatley a hidden gem within the valley art scene. Collapse

Once in a while as an audience member, you are treated to a performance that both exceeds any expectations you may have had, and moving you to new emotional heights along the way. Artists'Theatre Project's production of A NEW BRAIN at Soul Invictus did just that. Arguably, the most introductory friendly of the 4 produce-able pieces by William Finn, the show has something for everybody, from catchy pop ballads to clever sondheim-esque patter songs, the cast is exceptional. That being said, admittedly, I am sucker for women belters, and Kimberlee Blazes through William Finn's score with razor sharp precision hitting notes in the stratosphere while making it seem as effortless as cutting through butter with a hot knife. RUN do not WALK to see A NEW BRAIN at @pro!!! Collapse

I was excited to see the show because it was my first time to experience an interactive play. There was not much acting really -- The food was good although the courses were served so spaced out that by the time they served the main course, I've already lost my appetite. The show was boring even though there was audience participation. The jokes injected by Trace were old golf jokes. I wanted to try and see another show in Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre but I am now having second thoughts. Collapse
