Arizona Federal Theatre Has a New Name Last week, Arizona Federal Theatre, the venue located at 400 West Washington Street in downtown Phoenix, announced its new name: Arizona Financial Theatre. The switch comes because the naming sponsor, Arizona Federal Credit Union, changed its own name earlier this year after its members voted to change from a federally chartered credit union to state- chartered. Since its name is now Arizona Financial Credit Union, so is its namesake theater. Arizona Financial Theatre opened in 2002, making this its fourth name in two decades. It opened as Dodge Theatre, became Comerica Theatre in 2010, then Arizona Federal Theatre in 2019.
