CEO & Board of Directors

Welcome to the 2026-2027 season at the Herberger Theater Center, an Arizona tradition since 1989! In that time, more than 5 million patrons, including over 350,000 school-aged children, have shared the unique experience of live performing arts created by some of the most amazing production companies.

I’ve heard it said that “the joy of living is in being together.” Right now, there are hundreds of reasons to be together through performances and events here at the Herberger Theater Center, including many opportunities to experience free performances and engagement opportunities outside the walls of our theater.

Our Spotlight Series season features a dynamic lineup of spectacular shows that promise to captivate audiences with music, dance, and timeless classics. The energy and excitement of this season is truly unmatched. We look forward to bringing to you these incredible musical showcases celebrating iconic artists throughout music history.

The Herberger Theater Center has also put together a fantastic season of free outdoor programming that includes artists that are as diverse as our community. You don’t want to miss our First Friday Live series, Performance Pop-Up series, the 17th annual Festival of the Arts, and many Art Gallery exhibits.

The Herberger Theater Center is THE place to find fantastic performing companies, incredible artists, engaging events, amazing performances, and diverse experiences that ignite emotion, stimulate conversation, and inspire connections with the arts.

I appreciate you and I’m so glad we are together at the Herberger Theater Center.

Enjoy the performance!
