Arizona Broadway Theatre

The mission of Arizona Broadway Theatre is to enrich lives through the power of the performing arts!

A dream and vision manifested into reality in the fall of 2005 by two working New York City based actors, Arizona Broadway Theatre (ABT) is truly a "family affair" lead by co-founders Kiel & Cassandra Klaphake (Executive & Artistic Producers of ABT).

For the past 17 years, ABT has redefined what it means to "grab dinner and a show!" With sit-down table service and Broadway-style musicals on stage, ABT is an all-in-one entertainment experience unmatched in the Valley of the Sun. With a national reputation for drawing top talent, ABT's creative team, lead by Cassandra Klaphake and Associate Artistic Director Kurtis Overby, hold bi-annual auditions in New York City as well as regular local auditions in Arizona - casting the best actors, singers, and dancers for ABT's Mainstage musical productions.

Arizona Broadway Theatre includes a multi-purpose performance and banquet space called The Encore Room. The space offers much needed convention and banquet space to Phoenix's West Valley, as well as hosts a variety of new and exciting concert and specialty programming.

In 2018, ABT initiated a teen performance troupe called HyRev in the local community. The group performs at local and out-of-state venues which have included the State Fair of Arizona as well as performances in Los Angeles.

ABT has grown to become the highest attended year-round live theatre in the Valley of the Sun. Recognized as the "Best Family Entertainment" for several years running, ABT is the Valley's "It" venue to experience Broadway's Best! Avoid having to rush around the Phoenix sprawl to enjoy a night out on the town. ABT has everything you need all in one convenient location!
