Phoenix Theatre believes the arts are essential because they foster the hero within, create greater understanding of cultural and political differences and, in an era of virtual gatherings, continue to provide a forum in which the community can gather, live and in-person. Theatre lives where we wish the whole world lived. By inspiring empathy and the ability to see things from another’s point of view, we employ the arts as a means to develop visionary leadership and build communities in which we are proud to live.
