Engage + Learn
The Phoenix Theatre Company is dedicated to growing the artist – the individual and the art – at every age and from every background.
Our summer camps and year-round learning opportunities are intended to inspire a life-long love of the art form and a desire to support and sustain it.
Youth Musical Theatre Classes
Throughout the academic school year, we offer Saturday morning classes for young theatre lovers to come express themselves & make new friends in an exciting, inclusive environment. With equal focus on developing skills in singing, dancing, and acting, our staff of professional artists aim to build strong theatrical foundations for every performer. This program is perfect for creative kids who are just itching to get onstage!
Summer Programming
Through Summer Camp, students engage with professional artists to share their craft and experiences in a fun, inclusive, and creative space that encourages self-expression, skill-building and friendship. Similarly, Summer of Dance is focused on developing skill, increasing dance vocabulary, sweating, and having fun! This awesome dance program is led by Phoenix Theatre Company artists and is designed to create community and encourage one another to push beyond our boundaries to develop a stronger level of physical control and expression.
Audience Learning
All season long, we offer workshops and special events for both young and more seasoned audiences to participate and train in theatrical arts, encouraging personal interaction with The Phoenix Theatre Company’s artistic talent. Learn more about our Richard P. Stahl Festival of New American Theatre, which gives audiences an opportunity to witness how a production goes from page to stage!
As a professional producing theatre, our campus offers a full range of materials and spaces for performances, tours, classes, presentations, and other programming enhancements, and our season ticket holders and donors get the most out of their experience with us, including backstage tours, special offerings, and private events like The Artistic Appetizer, the Artistic Director’s Series, and Mornings with Michael.
Partners That Heal
Our signature Partners That Heal program uses improvisation to elevate mood and improve communication between individuals and their caregivers in a wide variety of settings. Team members are specially trained to assess individual needs and select an appropriate interaction from a repertoire of more than 250 interventions that have been proven effective after more than a decade of direct service to hospitals and other care institutions, both locally and nationally.
At our heart, we place theatre arts in service to the community: to create, train, heal, entertain and inspire. We are pleased to support nonprofit organizations across Arizona; you may request a ticket donation for your organization here. To stay in the know of all things TPTC, sign up for our newsletter.
