Arts and Entertainment, Right in Your Backyard

Get ready, West Valley, the curtain is rising on a new destination for arts and entertainment right in your backyard!

Located near the crossroads of Litchfield Road and Camelback Road, the new Hilltop Theatre and Concert Hall will offer something for everyone, from afternoon symphonies and elegant evenings of dance to holiday favorites, cultural celebrations, and good old-fashioned rock ’n’ roll.

No need to drive to downtown Phoenix or across the Valley for a memorable performance. It is all coming closer to home.

The Hilltop officially opens Oct. 1 with an open house beginning at 5 p.m., launching a packed 2026–27 calendar featuring nationally recognized performers, local arts organizations, and community events. PebbleCreek residents will also receive an early introduction to the venue during PebbleCreek Resident Night on Oct. 3.

Among the season highlights are:

* The Righteous Brothers—Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m. Danny Zelisko Presents brings the legendary duo to The Hilltop for one of the venue’s first major concerts.

* Gregg Allman: The Music of My Soul—Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. An evening celebrating the unforgettable music and legacy of Gregg Allman.

* The Music of Star Wars—Oct. 18 at 4 p.m. The West Valley Symphony brings the iconic music of the Star Wars universe to The Hilltop stage.

* Samantha Fish—Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. The acclaimed singer, songwriter, and guitarist takes the stage for an evening of blues-infused rock.

* The Messiah—Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. The West Valley Symphony returns with this celebrated holiday tradition.

And that is only the beginning. The calendar continues through June 2027 with matinee symphonies, dance and film presentations, guest speakers, holiday performances, community celebrations, and additional concerts.

The Hilltop was created to be more than a performance venue. It is a place where students, residents, artists, and community organizations can gather, connect, and experience the power of the arts together.

“We are excited to open the doors of The Hilltop and welcome our community into this incredible new space,” said Superintendent Mark Yslas. “Our vision is to create a destination that brings people together through exceptional performances, learning experiences and community events.”

The Oct. 1 open house is from 5 to 8 p.m. For upcoming performances, ticket availability, and additional information, visit hilltoptheatre.com.
