Flagstaff Playhouse - Flagstaff, AZ - the community theatre serving thousands


Flagstaff Playhouse is a theater located in Flagstaff, Arizona that has been renamed the Theatrikos. The Weatherford Hotel basement was the site of a meeting of Flagstaff citizens during May, 1972 in order to form a theatre in the community. The goal was to have a theatre with a commitment to use the Flagstaff community talent to create high quality productions.

There are five main stage productions presented annually to thousands of people in the progressive venue thirty-five years after the creation of the Flagstaff Playhouse. The facility offers workshops to educate in the areas of voice, technique and other aspects of acting. The theatre took sixteen years to find a permanent address.

In 2002 in honor of one of the founding members Doris Harper-White the Doris-Harper White Community Playhouse was opened during 2002; the name had changed from the Flagstaff Playhouse. The building that housed the theater was build during 1923 as an Elks Lodge and then the local library. Today it is a small theatre that seats one hundred people in the audience.

The Theatrikos Theatre Company gets half of its revenue from donors, underwriters and grants in addition to the proceeds from ticket sales. The theatre should be contacted directly for additional information.
