The Firehall Arts Centre will launch its 43rd anniversary season this fall with a slate of theatre and dance productions that Artistic Producer Donna Spencer describes as “An ELBOWS UP – Made in Canada season, with 99% of the plays and dance works created by Canadian artists.”
The 2025–2026 season will feature the world premieres of House of Folk: A Lost Canadian Folk Show by Tracey Power, Canadian Psycho by Marlene Ginader, and The Undeniable Accusations of Red Cadmium Light by Drew Hayden Taylor. Other highlights include the Western Canadian premiere of Robert Chafe’s Between Breaths, produced by Newfoundland’s Artistic Fraud, and the return of Blackout Art Society with English by Sanaz Toosi. Dance offerings include Hiromoto Ida’s Vacant Lot, Anne Plamondon Dance’s Myokine, and Mayumi Lashbrook’s Enemy Lines.
The season opens October 22–25 with Vacant Lot, followed by Myokine (October 30–November 1), Between Breaths (November 12–23), and English (January 23–February 1).
