Comerica Theatre in downtown Phoenix gets new name for new year

PHOENIX — Comerica Theatre in downtown Phoenix has been given a new name for the new year.

The entertainment venue was renamed Arizona Federal Theatre, after the Phoenix-based credit union, on Wednesday morning.

The space at Washington Street and Fourth Avenue was known as Dodge Theatre when it opened in 2002.

It was renamed for Dallas-based financial services company Comerica in 2010.
