CABC Partner highlight: The Phoenix Theatre Company
The Phoenix Theatre Company is not only the largest professional regional theatre company in the state, with nearly 500 performances each year on multiple stages, but it’s also the first arts organization in Arizona and a founding member of the Central Arts District. Committed to advancing the performing arts in the Valley, The Phoenix Theatre Company’s mission is to create exceptional theatrical experiences that inspire hope and understanding.
Over the years, it has served as a launchpad for emerging talent, including notable actors and creatives like Steven Spielberg who worked in the prop shop and who later premiered his first feature-length film on its stage. The company is known for its commitment to new works, with its Richard P. Stahl Festival of New American Theatre fostering innovative storytelling. Its broad repertoire ranges from classic productions to cutting-edge contemporary performances, making it a vital part of Phoenix’s vibrant arts community. Additionally, through outreach programs like Partners That Heal and an inclusive Summer Camp, The Phoenix Theatre Company extends its impact beyond the stage, using improvisational theatre to bring comfort to patients in healthcare settings and nurturing the future of the arts.
The Phoenix Theatre Company just announced they are producing Come From Away in their 2025-2026 season, which is a musical based on true events in Gander, Newfoundland!
