Tempe Center for the Arts stands out among the Valley’s cultural venues, and not because of its striking design. The 88,000-square-foot performing and visual arts hub near Tempe Town Lake curates a one-of-a-kind mix of shows each year. And the Tempe Center for the Arts 2025-26 lineup might be its most eclectic yet.
TCA’s two theaters will light up with music, comedy, cultural events and even family programming from November 2025 through May 2026. Expect performances by comedian Chloe Radcliffe, the iconic Charo and hometown favorites like the Tempe Symphony Orchestra. Both the Stray Cat Theatre and the Arizona Theatre Company will also bring their upcoming productions to the venue.
Here’s the full Tempe Center for the Arts 2025-26 lineup.
