Founded in 1993, the Firehouse Theatre Project produces contemporary theater of the United States in an authentic urban space - the 101-year-old former Station House #10 of the Richmond Fire Department.

FTP's presentation of recent Off-Broadway shows and original works, through main stage productions, readings, and the annual Festival of New American Plays, has brought to Richmond audiences a New York City black box theater experience - but at far lower ticket prices and with greater emphasis on the actor.

The Firehouse's 2009-10 season starts on Sept. 10 with Howard Korder's "Boys' Life". For more information or to order tickets, visit the Firehouse Web site today.
