Mission Statement
Theatrikos offers high quality theatrical productions for Northern Arizona, by utilizing the diverse base of community talent; and it provides formal and informal education and outreach programs.
History
In May of 1972, a group of Flagstaff citizens met in the basement of the Weatherford Hotel to form a non-profit community theatre committed to producing high quality productions using the diverse talents from the Flagstaff Community.
Over thirty years later this dynamic theatre group has grown to a progressive theatre company which presents five Mainstage productions to over 7,000 theatre patrons a year. We also occasionally offer acting, movement, scene painting, lighting design, stage, voice and audition classes throughout the year.
After roaming homeless for sixteen years, Theatrikos finally found a permanent home. Originally named The Flagstaff Playhouse, in 2002 the building was renamed in honor of one of our founders and longest company member to the Doris Harper-White Community Playhouse. The building, erected in 1923, was originally the Elks Lodge and later became the Flagstaff Library. The hall is now known as an intimate black box theatre. The performance space seats 99 individuals. Theatrikos patrons are never more than five rows away from the stage area.
A common misperception about Theatrikos is that we survive solely on our ticket sales. In fact, half of Theatrikos' budget is from grants and the support of its donors and underwriters to produce its plays, workshops, pay overheard and maintain the playhouse. Because of this, you are receiving twice the value of entertainment for every dollar you spend seeing a performance at Theatrikos. Donations are always welcome
