Chandler Center for the Arts reopens in October, fully redone

All three theaters at Chandler Center for the Arts have been closed since June 15 for a renovation running through Oct. 15. The work includes replacement of all theatrical seating, new carpet and epoxy flooring, enhanced floor and chair lighting, seat renumbering for easier wayfinding, and maintenance to fire sprinkler systems, theatrical rigging and electrical infrastructure. The city says the venue will hold a grand reopening in conjunction with the 2026 Center Stage Gala in October. Programming continued at other community locations during the closure.
