Firehall Theatre Society

All the world’s a stage: Vancouver theatres for performance

This gem of a theatre in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side runs as a non-profit organization, feeding funds from its ticket sales back into the space and the community in which it proudly resides. In the midst of Vancouver’s most challenging neighbourhood, the Fire Hall reflects its location with plays that are also challenging, controversial and thought-provoking. Through the season they perform an impressive 14 shows, while also hosting events like Dancing on the Edge and BC Buds, which showcases work by emerging artists. All in all, an eclectic and worthy performance space.
