The Herberger Theater Center is a nonprofit performing arts venue in Phoenix that serves as a focal point for the community's live arts experiences. It operates as both a performance venue and an arts incubator, supporting a broad slate of productions and programs designed to evoke emotion, stimulate dialogue, and connect audiences with the arts. Conceived as a cornerstone of downtown Phoenix's redevelopment, the center opened in 1989 and has contributed to the Valley's cultural and educational development. It is the home of five resident companies: Arizona Broadway Theatre, Arizona Opera, Arizona Theatre Company, Childsplay Theatre, and iTheatre Collaborative. Each year, the center draws about 175,000 attendees, including 30,000 school-aged children. Located in the Phoenix metropolitan area, the organization operates as a mid-sized nonprofit within the performing arts sector, supporting diverse programming for the community. In 2026, it expanded its community engagement by co-presenting the Phoenix Mariachi & Folklórico Festival, reflecting its involvement in regional cultural events.
