The Herberger Theater Center was originally conceived as a pivotal piece of the redevelopment and revitalization of downtown Phoenix. Built in 1989 to support and foster the growth of performing arts in Phoenix as a performance venue and arts incubator, the Herberger Theater Center has contributed to the cultural and educational development of the Valley through three separate performance venues. Through a bond election in 2009, $16.5M was earmarked for its much-needed refurbishment including ADA compliance, mechanical, electrical and security upgrades, and interior/exterior renovations of public including especially, the theaters. The intimate centerpiece, 800-seat Center Stage, mounts full productions with state-of-the-art technology and is the Phoenix home of the Arizona Theatre Company. The 325-seat Stage West is designed for flexibility while maintaining intimacy and creating endless possibilities in theatrical entertainment and corporate presentations through its proscenium seating with thrust and in-the-round capabilities. The 118-seat Kax Stage (black box theater) sports a new entrance providing downtown Lunch Time Theater.

MCH provided full-scope acoustical and AV infrastructure planning and design through completion in late 2010.
