Herberger Theater Center

An indoor performing-arts venue at 222 East Monroe Street in downtown Phoenix, with three stages — Center Stage, Stage West and the Performance Outreach, or Kax, Stage — which opened in 1989 and was conceived as part of the redevelopment of downtown Phoenix. It is named after G. Robert Herberger, founder of the Herberger's department store chain. The source credits it with more than 40 different performances a year, drawing about 175,000 patrons and 30,000 school children annually; neither the source nor this record attaches a date to those figures. Whether the theater is operating today is not established: the evidence the research offered for it was a quotation that does not appear in the article it was attributed to, and no dated independent confirmation could be found.
