The Phoenix Theatre Company's annual Applause! Gala celebrates heroes in the community who impact women, children and the arts in Arizona through their philanthropic endeavors. This year's event will features the wit, sparkle and talent audiences have come to expect from The Phoenix Theatre Company after 103 years of theatre in the Valley.
