About Us:
Constructed in 1964, the building is named for Dr. Grady Gammage, the legendary ASU president who led Arizona State College’s victorious campaign in the state legislature for a name change to Arizona State University in 1958.
ASU Gammage operates under a self-sustaining business model. Ninety percent of its funding comes from its Broadway series and 10 percent comes from philanthropy. This self-sustaining business model, driven by private support and ticket sales with no funding from the university or the state, runs like a business but with the heart of a nonprofit. ASU Gammage is a world-class arts presenting organization, which brings the best of the performing arts to Arizona. As a leader in the arts world, ASU Gammage also produces new works, artist residencies and education programs that foster the great artists of today and empower the artists of tomorrow. These Cultural Participation programs are the heart and soul of ASU Gammage. These programs allow ASU Gammage to go beyond a classroom, stage, workshop or performance to change lives for the better. These programs are vital to ASU Gammage making a difference in our community and connecting with people through shared experiences. The impact of these Cultural Participation programs last a lifetime.
Our goal is to entertain and challenge our audience by presenting new, diverse and thought-provoking performance opportunities. If we have inspired community conversation about a topic relevant to one of our productions than we know we are on track with our mission of Connecting CommunitiesTM.
It is our privilege to be a key component of the cultural landscape of the Valley and we could not do it alone. Please help us to thank our ASU Gammage VIP supporters and patronize our VIP Gammage sponsor organizations. They play a critical role in all we do at ASU Gammage.
