Firehall Arts Centre

Situated in the historic heart of the city of Vancouver, the historic Firehall Arts Centre is an intimate, atmospheric space with original brick walls. It’s surrounded by Gastown, Chinatown and the Strathcona neighbourhood, and has a flexible black-box studio theatre, a dance and rehearsal studio, an enclosed outdoor courtyard with an outdoor stage, a licensed lobby and exhibition space.

The Firehall Arts Centre first opened on February 25th, 1982 in a heritage-designated building that dates back to 1906--a facility that had operated as a real firehall until 1975.

Today, the Firehall Theatre Society connects communities and encourages a greater understanding of Canada’s cultural pluralism through its productions, presentations, exhibitions and artistic practice. Its mission is to enrich lives and expand minds through the arts.
