About Hormel Theatre at Phoenix Theatre
Welcome to the Hormel Theatre, part of The Phoenix Theatre Company campus in downtown Phoenix. This intimate venue is the heart of the organization’s three-theatre complex, offering a versatile space for contemporary plays, premieres, and new American works. The Hormel Theatre, with a historically intimate seating capacity, is expanding as part of a broader campus campaign to create a broader, more flexible performance environment that still prioritizes audience proximity and experience.
Located at 1825 N Central Ave, the Hormel Theatre sits alongside Judith Hardes Theatre and the forthcoming Stephenson Theatre (opening fall 2025). The campus is designed for easy access, with free on-campus parking across five lots and convenient Light Rail access via the Central/McDowell corridor, followed by a short walk to the theatres. The venue is known for supporting pre-Broadway development and producing vibrant seasons that include fan favorites and new works.

Plan ahead for parking and transit: five free on-campus lots make arrival smooth, and the Central/McDowell Light Rail stop offers a straightforward route to the theatre district.
