from our friends at The Phoenix Theatre Company:
Theatre and live performance lovers across the Valley will be thrilled by The Phoenix Theatre Company’s 103rd season that kicks off Aug. 31. Tickets are on sale now for a line-up that includes nine shows ranging from classic musicals like A Chorus Line, family favorites like Cinderella and exciting new productions like The Prom. Plus, for fans of the play development process, the 25th Festival of New American Theatre returns. Each 2022-23 performance will be presented at the theatre’s multi-venue campus in the heart of the Central Arts District.
“Our spectacular 103rd season is full of enchanting stories of possibility, tomorrow's promise and a passionate love for the theatre,” said Michael Barnard, producing artistic director at The Phoenix Theatre Company. “Commemorating our perseverance over the last few years and embracing the future growth at The Phoenix Theatre Company is our goal. The ambitious lineup of full-scale productions will provide beautiful, shared experiences of laughter, tears and inspiration while capturing our commitment to artistic excellence.”
This season’s performances will alternate between the Mainstage and Hormel Theatres. In 2023, the Hormel Theatre will undergo a major renovation, thanks to funds raised through an ambitious capital campaign. The Hormel will expand from 250 seats to 500 seats and receive technical improvements to make it available for pre-Broadway show development. The expansion is anticipated to be complete in in 2024.
The 2022-23 performance season includes:

During these performances, masks will be required for all patrons and staff unless actively eating or drinking. Food and drinks will be allowed into the theatre. Proof of vaccination and temperature checks will not be required.
