By Alice Stanley. Phoenix is the sixth largest city in the country, but in order for me to see a new piece of theater in late August, I had to travel twenty miles west of the metropolitan area to Peoria, Arizona's Performing Arts Center. It's not strange to take a hike for culture in this desert. But I find it frustrating when people preface arts here with the word "wasteland."
