Firehouse Theatre is an artistic home, a thriving hub of creative activity, and a center for community engagement where new work is created and performed.
Reviewed By williamsF3115YY
We have been longtime patrons of the Yes Dance Festival and were happy to see the show finally find a home at the Firehouse, a small, intimate, welcoming theatre on West Broad. Set in a converted firehouse near the Fan, the theatre features a small, comfortable auditorium with comfortable seats--all of them offering a good view of the stage. Restrooms are available upstairs and down and there is a roomy lobby and bar. The show itself was the usual high quality we have come to expect from this program.

I've been to November Theater several times and it never disappoints. This time was West Side Story with Virginia Rep and it was great. I love the theater - old but not dated. Quaint. Every seat is close to the stage. Excellent performance and excellend experience!

This beautiful, old theatre is a wonderful concert venue. The acoustics are great and the theater was staffed by courteous and efficient employees. One can enjoy being in the midst of the stand-up crowd on the floor, or head upstairs to sit in the theater seats and get a birds eye view of the stage. My husband and I will definitely be back!
