Phoenix Theatre, Inc

Phoenix Theatre leads the charge to engage our community emotionally and intellectually with thought-provoking, contemporary, and challenging programming. Our 36th season renews and rejuvenates our mission to challenge the mind, touch the heart, and inspire the human spirit by offering patrons cultural and artistic events that contribute to and comment on the national dialogue—a greater variety of and significantly more events than in previous seasons. We strive to invite a diversity of voices to the table and address issues central to Indianapolis, encouraging a more enlightened, inspired, and aware local community. By invigorating local artists with more opportunities to work, grow, and thrive professionally, we retain exceptional talent in our ever-evolving region. Phoenix embodies the Cultural Centre name of our new home and continues to progress as a leading arts organization in Indianapolis.
