Web Site
Built in 1906, the Firehall building functioned as Vancouver's No. 1
Firehall and the first motorized Firehall until 1975 when the Firemen
moved out and the arts moved in. After a variety of tenants the Firehall
Theatre Society was formed in 1982 and currently operates as one of the
busiest venues in Vancouver. With over three hundred performances each
year, the Firehall entertains audiences and provides a variety of
theatre and contemporary dance that reflects Canada's diverse and
dynamic cultural mosaic.
Each season the Firehall Arts Centre produces between four and six
theatre productions and between three to five dance productions and is
also home to at least 25 other arts organizations as a theatre and
studio rental facility, and Arts Centre Box Office. The Firehall offers
a variety of season subscription packages, and memberships which are
available through the box office. Gift certificates can also be issued
for a specific performance or as a general pass to any Firehall Arts
Centre theatre or dance series production.
Join us before or after the show in our friendly licensed lounge &
gallery, one of Vancouver's best kept secrets. Enjoy a drink and a snack
in the courtyard when it's seasonable and take in the art when its grey.
