Notes about Temple Rentals

Built in 1927, the Temple of Music and Art is a proper cultural arts venue. When the Temple first opened, just visiting the place was considered an event. We feel it’s safe to say the building has upheld its reputation. Constructed in an elegant, Southwestern style, the Temple breathes grace and class with its beautiful surroundings of cobbled stone, fountain–splashed patio, and quiet tree-lined street. Now home of the Arizona Theatre Company, the Temple has been called “one of this city’s most elegant buildings” by Tucson Weekly (1995).

The spacious Alice Holsclaw Theatre with its 623 seats is a marvelous place to see either Shakespeare or concerts. There truly isn't a bad seat in the house: Sightlines are good from every location, there's plenty of leg room, the acoustics are great and, yes, the chairs are comfortable.

If a smaller, more intimate setting is desired for a performance, upstairs the Temple has the Cabaret Theatre available. If visual art is your thing, The Temple of Music and Art Gallery hosts several different shows throughout the year and is usually open during evening performances.
