NO EXIT Set for Firehouse Fringe Series

Firehouse Theatre has announced that No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre will play 9 performances in the Firehouse Fringe Series. The Fringe Series will feature 50+ local artists and groups who will be participating in the inaugural series, eclectic performances, madcap mayhem, and outrageous entertainments.

No Exit is Jean Paul Sartre's existential masterwork that revolves around three people of very different backgrounds who find themselves locked in a room together. There are no mirrors, the lights can't be turned off, and the door won't open. Over the course of their confinement each of them discovers the reason they're imprisoned. NO EXIT takes a darkly humorous and probing look at how we carry our prisons with us, and illustrates Sartre's famous line "Hell is other people."

Director James Ricks is no stranger to the RVA theatre scene. Originally from British Columbia, Canada, James found his way south where he began a successful career in NYand Washington, DC working in theatre and television. He is the former Artistic Director of Henley Street Theatre and has worked regionally as a director for Richmond Shakespeare, Firehouse Theatre Project, Sycamore Rouge Theatre, The Whistle Stop Theatre, TheatreLAB, SPARC and Chesapeake Shakespeare. James was the recent recipient of the Richmond Theatre Critics Circle Award for 'Best Direction' for his 2013 production of Julius Caesar and was named one of Style Weekly Magazine's 'Top 40 Under 40' People Who Are Changing Richmond, VA.
