firehouse center for the arts

Haven't been for a while, but this is a great little theatre to see a play or performance. It's fairly small which makes it an engaging experience. Have seen lots of wonderful shows here. There are also lots of wonderful restaurants nearby for dining before or after.

We saw a production of "To Kill a Mockingbird." This was our second visit to the Firehouse for a dramatic production. Well cast, well staged, blocked out well. All in all, an excellent production for reasonably priced tickets. Watch the schedule. We'll definitely return.

14 writers, 7 directors, 21 actors and a producer have 24 hours to come up with 7 plays, 10 minutes each! Great fun!

All sorts of entertainment offered. Never disappointed. Recently went to the Annual Documentary Film Festival and saw two films. Great way to spend an afternoon!

A pleasant visit and we enjoyed the presentation by the Clerk on duty. Since we appreciate good art but not close to the daily scene we manage to always learn something about the art and artist who painted the pictures. would go back often.

What an intimate little venue. The Boston Comedy show was the first time I attended an event here. Not a bad seat in the house. The show was probably one of the funniest comedy shows I've attended, well done Firehouse, for attracting such great talent. I'll definitely attend more events there!

Whether theatre, classical or popular music, dance, film, or other genres, there is diverse programming with something for every taste.

My girlfriend and I joined another couple and we watched a great couple of hours of comedy. Very intimate theater. Very clean and good acoustics.

Newburyport is fortunate to have a thriving arts center with a jewel of a 200-seat theater that presents the community with a variety of artistic events such as plays, musicals, dance, concerts and children's programs throughout the year. Recently, the Firehouse produced "The 39 Steps," which garnered 11 nominations in the DASH awards by Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theaters.

We went to see "The 39 Steps" that was hilarious, and really well-acted. We can't recommend it enough. The venue itself is great. Nice lighting, nice stage. A great place to see a play.

The Theater itself hasn't got that theater ambiance it should have and the plays, etc. I have seen there are not that great. I think it is more of a proving ground for new material.

I attended a Tom Rush concert here. The small size of the room allowed for more of a connection with the artist than you might expect for such a marquee act. It is located in downtown Newburyport next to its Waterfront Park, so take in the local ambience, shops and restaurants, too.

A good place to go to see local talent and at times regional entertainers. A small place that has a comfy atmosphere. Near the river so you can walk the boardwalk afterwards.
