How a group of actors dedicates time, talents to help others
PHOENIX — Some say laughter is the best medicine. That’s why actors from the Phoenix Theatre Company are putting on important performances each week for a very special audience.
The “Partners That Heal” group performs weekly at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center for pediatric patients who are in need of a distraction, entertainment or simply a good smile. The group has been using its talents to unite arts and healthcare at Valley medical centers since 2008, according to their website.
