ABOUT FIREHOUSE THEATRE PROJECT:

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.
