About the Business
Firehouse Theatre, located at 1609 West Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia, is a vibrant institution dedicated to showcasing innovative and thought-provoking theatrical productions.

One of the theatre's current productions, "Roman à Clef," explores themes of family, fear, and identity through a meta-theatrical lens. As the actors delve into the complexities of the play, the line between fiction and reality blurs, leading to a profound exploration of truth and meaning.

Reviews
"Great theater parking can be tricky downtown. Show was wonderful! Highly recommend seeing anything here."
"A really great theater. They put on innovative new works, which is exciting! Top notch talent, a spacious lobby, and a good bar! Lots of bathrooms!"
"Went to see theater of the mind production. Being an old time radio aficionado this was really a lot of fun. Looking foreword to this type as well as other productions. The venue is an old firehouse in down town Richmond near the college. While the space is small it make you an intimate part of the production. They have a web page if you want to check them out"
"This is how you operate during a pandemic! Just attended The Picture of Dorian Gray , and this was my best use of a Tuesday afternoon. Billy Maupin is a talented performer; I thoroughly enjoyed his versatility on stage. Limited seating and all the extra precautions, made it a very safe experience. I ordered my ticket and drinks in advance, so there was no social contact. My drinks were ready before the show and during intermission ,and the communication e-mail sent prior to the date outlined what to expect upon arrival , only added to an exceptional afternoon. Please support this theatre, they are doing extraordinary things during these difficult times."
"Saw the production of Preludes by Dave Malloy, my favorite composer. The cast was simply amazing and the theatre itself was very, very nice. It was much smaller than I expected, but it was comfy and had a very nice setup. If I lived closer, I would be seeing many more shows there. Ushers and everyone working there were very kind and helpful and made the experience even more enjoyable. An excellent, intimate setting for a production."
