Charlie, David and I were able to attend a play called The Boyfriend premiering at the Firehouse Theater last weekend. I never thought we would be watching a play in a Firehouse but we did and it was fun.
I loved how the Firehouse Theater used every space of the Firehouse turning the building into a cute and comfy playhouse. From the kitchen where we were served Champagne and Chocolates to the Hallway where we could watch Swing Dancers outside.
The seats inside the Firehouse Theater were comfortable and no, matter where your seated you have a perfect view of the stage. I must admit it did get a bit chilly but the staff was kind enough to hand us blankets as we went inside.
Charlie and David liked being able to purchase refreshments they could bring inside with them. I was impressed that there were Popcorn being freshly popped and we could purchase ROSES…
Before you ask me if the guys bought a ROSE for me no, they didn’t. But unlike other ladies David purchased me a box of POPCORN. I didn’t have to share the popcorn with anyone and to me this was better than a dozen roses.
In 2011, a community group with a strong desire to promote and support theater arts met together and founded The Farmers Branch Community Theater. The founding committee begin searching for possible performance venues and identified historic Fire Station #1 as the ideal location.
Built in 1958 the facility served the city for over 50 years, but by 2011 larger fire and medical equipment, combined with new procedures and technology, overwhelmed the structure and lot size.
In 2012, Fire Station #1 was relocated to a new, larger, state-of-the art facility to continue protecting and serving the citizens of Farmers Branch. Working in partnership, the City of Farmers Branch entered into a multi-year agreement with The Farmers Branch Community Theatre, dba The Firehouse Theatre, for management and use of the city-owned property.
MainStage Tickets
The Boyfriend, Mixed Nuts, Once On This Island, Bright Star, Abbas Mama Mia, Cats, Side Show, The Wizard of Zo- Concert Edition (The Holiday Family Concert).
Firehouse JR Tickets will be announced soon.
I know next year I plan on purchasing Mainstage Flex 10 Ticket Book is a book of 10 tickets that you can use in whatever combination you can think of throughout the 2019 mainstage season.
This is is a “FLEX” book“, you can use the 10 tickets in ANY combination you can think of. Which for my family will be nice because there may be times Charlie or David have something to do and we couldn’t see a play.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
