Written by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Once on This Island, Seussical and Lucky Stiff), noted playwright Terrence McNally, and based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, Ragtime is the winner of the 1998 Tony Awards for Best Score, Book and Orchestrations, and both the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Musical and Best Score. Called by TIME Magazine "A triumph for the stage," and by the International Herald Tribune "the best musical in twenty years," this acclaimed musical is filled with pageantry, emotion and hope, bursting onto the stage like no other musical.

At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing... and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair... and what it means to live in America.

The Firehouse Theatre Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

In 2011, a community group with a strong desire to promote and support theatre arts met together and founded The Farmers Branch Community Theatre. The founding committee began searching for possible performance venues and identified historic Fire Station #1 as the ideal location. Built in 1958, the facility served the city for over 50 years, but by 2011, larger fire and medical equipment, combined with new procedures and technology, overwhelmed the structure and lot size. In 2012, Fire Station #1 was relocated to a new, larger, state-of-the art facility to continue protecting and serving the citizens of Farmers Branch. Working in partnership, the City of Farmers Branch entered into a multi-year agreement with The Farmers Branch Community Theatre, dba The Firehouse Theatre, for management and use of the city-owned property.

The Firehouse Theatre is at 2535 Valley View Ln, Farmers Branch, TX.
