Anyone who calls the southeast Valley sleepy hasn’t spent an evening at Chandler Center for the Arts. The landmark venue injects energy into a stretch of metro Phoenix known for tract homes and strip malls. Its vibrant lineup of dance, music and theater performances draws crowds, sparks buzz and lights up the suburbs. The Chandler Center for the Arts 2025-26 performance lineup keeps that energy buzzing all season.
CCA’s trio of theaters inside its 64,000‑square-foot campus comes alive with a lively season of performances from November 2025 through May 2026. Top acts include powerhouse singer Joss Stone, genre-blending ensemble Pink Martini and crowd-pleasing rock tribute Journey USA. East Valley audiences can also catch jazz from Kirk Whalum, innovative dance artistry from Ailey II and family favorites like “Shrek the Musical.”
Here’s the complete Chandler Center for the Arts 2025-26 lineup.
