Arizona Broadway Theatre (ABT) is hosting the Broadway Ball on Saturday, February 22nd, at 7701 West Paradise Lane. This year's theme: Disco Fever with a Purpose!

Broadway Ball 2025: Studio 54 is an exciting evening of entertainment featuring a cocktail hour, three-course dinner, live auction, and the popular "Broadway Ball Wine Pull" wine auction.

According to Brad York, President of the ABT Board of Trustees, they chose the theme—Disco Fever with a Purpose—to showcase that the evening is about entertainment as well as fundraising.

"Our goal at Broadway Ball 2025: Studio 54 is to bring the fun to fund-raising," explains York. "It's going to be a great time for those attending—all supporting the programs, mission, and vision at Arizona Broadway Theatre (AZBroadway.org)."

"For two decades, ABT has not only entertained but also enriched our community, fostering creativity, collaboration, and a love for the performing arts," explains Kiel Klaphake, ABT's co-founder and executive producer, with his wife, Cassandra. "Our commitment to youth arts education through our HyRev and Academy programs has been a cornerstone of our mission to be the beating heart of a culturally rich community. Many of our performers and students have gone on to shine on Broadway."
