Our Story
The Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre was founded in 1983 by Bryan Fonseca, emerging from the closure of the Broad Ripple Playhouse. It began with a performance of the science fiction play Warp! in the historic Ambassador Hotel. After moving to a church in 1988, it became a vibrant home for the arts for 30 years, dedicated to nurturing new plays and emerging playwrights while enhancing the community's reputation as an arts destination.
