As an organization committed to fostering the arts in our community, the Herberger Theater Center hopes to provide an example for aspiring artists and broadcast journalists in Arizona of the greatness to which they can aspire. In alignment with its mission, the Herberger Theater Center acknowledges the power of the arts in our community and those that have given their gifts to the world in order to improve the quality of life both inside and outside of Arizona.
