Herberger Theater Center

Founded in 1989 as a cornerstone of downtown Phoenix’s revitalization, the Herberger Theater Center is a premier destination for performing arts in the heart of the city. This nonprofit venue offers an inviting atmosphere across three distinct stages—Center Stage, Stage West, and the Kax Theater—providing a range of settings from grand productions to intimate, close-up performances. Located in a vibrant neighborhood surrounded by local restaurants and hotels, the center serves as a cultural hub where the energy of the urban environment meets the magic of live performance. Comedy fans can enjoy a diverse rotation of shows, ranging from touring stand-up specials to satirical theatrical productions. The venue has hosted notable comedic talents such as Mae Martin, Marsha Warfield, and Joey Medina, as well as unique acts like The Umbilical Brothers. Whether you are catching a solo comedy special or a riotous stage play, the Herberger provides a warm, professional setting that makes every seat feel like the best in the house.
