Development and Fundraising
Each year, Phoenix Theatre hosts events that raise funds to benefit the operation of the mainstage. For the past 8 years, one major fundraiser has been Phoenix Theatre Follies, a gala event of performance and fun, with community leaders, donors, sponsors, and professional actors joining together on the stage to create a memorable production of an original script. For the past ten years, PT has sponsored a luncheon at which selected Valley women and corporations who have made a special contribution to children's charities or in the arts are singled out. This luncheon honors four outstanding women in community leadership, business leadership, lifetime achievement, and outstanding achievement. Proceeds from the event go keep the Cookie Company producing its award-winning performances. In PT's current 09/10 season, these two events will be combined into one event, Phoenix Live which will occur in February and raise funds for the maintenance and upkeep of Phoenix Theatre.
