A large number of cultural facilities and public art displays can be found in the city. They also offer scholarship grants for talented young artists in the community. Theater Phoenix is one outlet for artists to develop their acting skills and creativity.

Tourists locally and foreign are drawn to events and performances in the world famous Phoenix Convention Center. This cultural facility, along with others like the Orpheum and Herberger Theater is under the management of the Convention Center Department of the city. It is amazing how this side of Phoenix was a great contributor to the growth in the economy of the city and the state it belongs.

Theater in the city is almost the highlight of every celebration day in or out. They believe that the world is their stage. This why they strive to have every performance as their best every day. Musical and performance arts at its finest is being showcased in the famous Herberger Theater.

Live performers present before a live audience in an auditorium or in a wide open space. A combination of gesture, song, speech, music and dance is used to better express the expression needed in a play. The stage or platform where they perform is ornamented with crafts and designs to best enhance the visual experience of the audience.

The history of the word, would take you to ancient Greece, where the word theatron, is used to describe a place of viewing. It also came from theaomai which means to watch, or to see, or observe. The Modern play of the West that you see today has been greatly influenced by Ancient Greek dramas. Characters and settings, themes, genres and even the technical aspects of theatre were borrowed from old Greek dramas.

There are different kinds of theater plays, namely, the drama, comedy, musical and tragedy. Comedy is probably the most enjoyable form which uses humor to narrate a story. Drama, as the word employs, tells of fiction and specific emotions in a play. A play which combines speech, dance and music is a musical. And tragedy, is another type of drama but in unique, mainly because it tells about the historical events in the civilization.

Experience Broadway shows, concerts and operas at the newly renovated, historic Orpheum Theater. Located on West Adams Street, it is one of the most historic places in Phoenix. The last remaining example of a theatre palace type of architecture in Phoenix was originally built in 1929. It happens to be the only theatre in the greater Phoenix area listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It can accommodate around one thousand three hundred people. The renovation done on the place made it a modern theatre with a classical touch. It was closed for renovation, but is now back in business since the 1997.

The performing art department of the city, is considered an important part of its history. It is considered a treasure that the people deeply value. Your emotions can be clearly seen on the way you express yourself. Self expression is one form of art. Being artistic can be hereditary and you are born with that knowledge. But it can also be acquired through time.
