On Saturday, March 8th at Firehouse Theatre, we’re embracing our Villain Era! It’s time to cheer for the bad witches, bad bitches, and devilish divas who steal the spotlight. We all know the villains have the best looks, the sharpest wit, and the most irresistible allure—so why fight it? Let your dark side reign and revel in the wickedness with a cast that’s as seductive as they are sinister.
Detroit ‘67, written by Dominique Morisseau

Set to the sweet sounds of Motown, during the race riots that ravaged Detroit in 1967, family bonds are tested by the allure of forbidden love and a desire to stake a claim to the American dream.
War in Pieces: A Festival of One-Act Plays by Virginia Veterans
The Firehouse Theatre is proud to announce we are once again partnering with the Virginia War Memorial Foundation on War in Pieces, four one-act plays written by Virginia veterans. The plays that are to be produced in War in Pieces were developed through the Mighty Pen Project, the Virginia War Memorial Foundation’s 12-week long university-level writing classes offered for free to veterans and their families. New York Times bestselling author and founder of the MPP David L. Robbins teaches the classes.
Performances will take place at Virginia War Memorial's Alumni Hall, 621 S. Belvidere St. Richmond VA.
SMOKE
by Enid Graham
Directed by Anna Senechal Johnson
In a world where consumerism is king, distraction is everywhere and public discourse is shot, a couple from New York City arrive at a rented McMansion on a hill to attend a family wedding. SMOKE is a darkly funny play about what happens when truth is up for grabs.
Lake Effect, written by Andrew Gall
Directed by Paul Takács
Two bitterly estranged siblings and their unwitting spouses navigate an uncomfortable and chaotic reunion at the old family lake house to spread the ashes of their late father. Past pains get wrapped up with current struggles in this sardonic and wrenching examination of ‘adulting’.
