Actors Theatre presents passionate, thought-provoking theatre designed to add to the social dialogue of the community. Our mission is to create professional theatre with a social conscience in an urban setting. The ideas and themes embedded in the work we produce are the framework for civic dialogue within our community. We have built a reputation as the company that takes the most risks and consistently delivers thought-provoking theatre; ensuring an ongoing connection between the plays and the people who attend our performances. Over the past 21 years the company has experienced tremendous growth and critical recognition, becoming one of Arizona’s preeminent professional theatre companies. Actors Theatre performs exclusively at the Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix. In 2000, the Arizona Theatre Alliance awarded Actors Theatre, the Producing Theatre Company of the Year, and in 2002, Business Volunteers for the Arts named Actors Theatre the Arts Organization of the Year.
