Re: "Aladdin.." review by Kathleen Allen in the Daily Star on Sept 7th.
A huge thank you to Ms. Allen for pointing out the deficiencies of Centennial Hall. We do not attend any shows at this venue because of the embarrassingly poor acoustics. As an architect, I have often thought about how I would improve this structure. I feel that the best solution would be for the City to find new property to construct a new Tucson Hall for the Performing Arts: for symphonies, ballet, plays, musicals and other shows. The next best option would be to completely renovate Centennial Hall to give it a fresh, up to date feel, and most importantly to hire an excellent acoustical engineer to mitigate the hall's poor sound quality. Whatever approach is undertaken, something should definitely be done to help this tired building. The City of Tucson deserves nothing less.
