Scottsdale Arts will host new performances and shows for 2025-26 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.

The off-Broadway sensation “DUNGEONS & DRAGONS The Twenty-Sided Tavern” will make a stop in Scottsdale during its national tour. With five shows, audiences can experience a different show each time thanks to technology that allows for choosing the path of the performers in real time, according to a press release.

Also, Grammy-nominated Trombone Shorty will bring a party and a performance to Scottsdale with his live show that blurs the lines between funk, soul, R&B and psychedelic rock. Audiences can clap, sing along and dance across the awn of the East Bowl amphitheater of the Scottsdale Civic Center in the spirit of a New Orleans street parade.

Several new dance-adjacent programs have also been announced, including “Films. Dance Screening,” the most recent production directed and produced by Jacob Jonas The Company. The dance company will also host a sunrise hike at Papago Park and a meditation with Jacob Jonas on March 28, 2026, before an evening performance.
