The Salvation Army Kroc Center’s Joan B. Kroc Theater

We wanted to get private lessons for our grandkids while they were here on vacation. Unfortunately they did not have any one week before regular school starts. However I want to give them an excellent review, because they tried many different ways to accommodate and find a date that could fit our schedule. The young lady on the phone was very patient and helpful. Now that I know how the system works I will know how to make it work.

This place has lots of options for classes for the kids. We have only explores a few of them so far but the teachers really show each kid lots of attention and they keep the classes small. Buildings are clean and nice and cool. Great for the summer months. Price seems reasonable especially since we are still in the beginning stages of classes.

The aquatic and excersize instructors are why I come. Very knowledgeable and positive people. If you’ve been prescribed physical therapy this is an affordable option to keep your fitness up with great instructors.

I have been bringing my son to the Joan Kroc Center for years! Everyone here are amazing with children. The hip hop class is my sons highlight of the week according to him. Great prices, great people and overall great experience!

The theatre is in a crappy neighborhood, but inside — it’s gorgeous. It looks brand new, with good acoustics and a sound system to match. I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house, either. I would not let the location deter you from attending a show here.
They put on mostly community shows at the location, so it’s a home to many children’s theater groups and local dance companies. The backstage area is nice and there are conference rooms to spread out for big companies, but I can’t exactly say I’m brimming with confidence about the security since the open courtyard leads into open backstage doors. This is the kind of place where you’ll need extra volunteers to look after backstage. They have several green rooms in great shape though. Plenty of mirror space & enough outlets. The backstage loading is very convenient too.
There is ample & safe parking, which is great, but no a lot of choices for pre or post show meals/​drinks near-​by.

Jason and the rest of the JBK Theatre crew and staff are amazing and so accomidating! We had a hula recial here and Jason gave me and my hula sister a whole tour of the facilities, informed us of the stage, provided us a lot of time for reshersal and dress rehersal, worked on lightening and sound, informed us when the audience was ready… this guy was on top of it and it made our performace run smoothly and stress free.
The venue was beautiful, comfortable for both us dancers back stage in the several green rooms and dressing rooms (we were not used to sooo much space to change!!!) and the audience was able to be relaxed and enjoy a show without any disruptions or obstructions.

On a visit to the Science Center I couldn’t pass up showing my brother a TRUE IMAX screen. With do many imitations out there misrepresenting, the dome IMAX was a true treat.
While I would have rather been watching Kelly Slater surf in Tahiti, my bother made me settle for the Galapagos. The movie was well done, but there is a serious lack of focal points which makes me think it was either old or filmed improperly.
The Joan B Kroc Fome Theater is not a bad place, has comfortable seats and the theater is small enough that even the seats in the back aren’t THAT bad. The price is average but considering IMAX it’s worth trying.

Went here tonight to see a dance show put on by Mesa College. The location was fancy for a community center theatre. Two guys had me take their pic because they wanted a pic of them at a «nice» place. Adorable.
Bathrooms are very clean. Great seats. Great parking situation and getting out wasn’t too bad though my friend and I did rush out once the show ended.
