These guys love to spread COVID. No precautions for their cast.

Great little theater. Seats were comfortable, and blankets were offered in case it was too cold. The layout was great, and all seats appeared to have a good view. There were rest rooms and a small concession area. Parking was a bit difficult, so you may want to get there early to ensure you get a spot. But I really liked this theater.

Nice community theater with abundant seating. They have blankets available if its too cold and a refreshment stand available. The shows change often and the stage is setup really nice. Good sound quality and the acting is better than expected. I was very surprised and happy to support local theater.

Wonderful experience!! Ive seen two shows here now and both were of very high quality. It is an intimate theater and the staff is very friendly. Be warned it is a little chilly, but they do provide blankets to borrow!

I took my family there to see Wizard or Oz and we loved it. Their concessions were priced well and the people were great to talk to. They even have a summer program for kids.

Fabulous performance. Went to see Wizard of Oz in this quaint old neighborhood theater. Performance was lovely. I took one star off for parking. Tip: park in the church car park across the street.

FANTASTIC!! Everyone who is a part of this magical little theater is professional and warm, what a combination. The cast members will blow your mind. The quality of their performances rivals Broadway- I say this as former New Yorker!

Very nice place to see a show. It is on the cozy side. Seats are very comfortable and there are blankets if it gets too cold. Really enjoyed the show recently. Parking was good at the church across the street. (They are kind to allow parking for events.) Every seat in the house is real good as it is, each row elevates upward, so everyone can see really up close.Highly recommend this place for the plays they present--you will not be disappointed.

I really enjoyed the Firehouse Theatre. Its a unique way to renovate an old building and the space works very well. Good talent and high quality stagecraft

Lovely, intimate theatre, and excellent performance: acting, set, casting, direction, and orchestra were all great! They serve wine, along with popcorn, candy and soda. Restrooms are hard to reach, but that was my only complaint.

Intimate setting that puts you up close with the players. We saw a Kids production of Madagascar and it was fantastic. I love small theater like this because the players energy becomes infectious. We are already planning the next show we will attend.

I saw the performance of Aida on Saturday and was overwhelmed by the talent of all in the performance. The voices and acting were amazing, the dancers were amazing, the set was amazing, the orchestra was amazing, the costumes were amazing, and I actually got choked up and tears in my eyes five times during the performance because of the emotional content and music. It was a beautiful, well-done play and I applaud you all! Thank you so much!

I took a friend to see Gypsy and we both had a really great time. We will come back again and again. I initially gave 4 stars, maybe because its not a big fancy place with all the bells and whistles, but the show was awesome and everyone did a great job. From the persons who first greeted me/us to the actors on stage, they all were greatWe loved it ,,,,,,,...

Review №29

The acting was very good. There were nice accommodations for handicapped, except the seats were not comfortable. It would have been nice to know that my companion could have had a regular seat next to mine and that because it was a straight chair, a lumbar support might be needed. It was nice to get an email ahead about the coolness and parking.

Love, love watching all the musicals. The musical Gypsy was by far my favorite. Hats off to them. They are doing a great job over there. Very friendly staff. The blankets are a cute touch and Im glad you offer them. It does get chilly!

Seeing a show here is always fun. The season line up of shows always great for families. The local talent, excellent. Such a great use of space. We saw Once on this Island. The band was awesome. Choreography some of the best Ive seen for a community theater show or a regional show. Tkt. pices are very reasonable!

The Boyfriend was performed at The Firehouse Theater. It is a smal venue with a wonderful cast. The stadium seating allows for a great experience. Live orchestral music also added a touch of Broadway to the show.

Review №34

The show was and is fantastic!! This was my first time going to this venue. The seats are a bit crowded but comfortable. The show was White Christmas (musical). The singing and dancing are spot on. I plan on taking the in-laws next time.

My husband and I love going to shows and supporting local theater, and were so excited to discover this theater so close to home! Weve seen Little Shop of Horrors and today we saw A Christmas Carol and both were excellent. The converted building still has some of the original parts of the firehouse and the theater is very intimate, giving the audience a great view of the stage from any seat. We love keeping up with shows and look forward to checking out the 2018 season!

I took my out of town guest to see Grease. It was my first time going to this theater. The venue was nice, the play was great. However, the air conditioning was on so high that it was freezing! They did provide blankets but we were still cold. My face was cold! And I do not really want a blanket at a play. I do not understand why the air was so high? Was it for the actors? If so, thats like going to a restaurant and having it freezing because the cooks and wait staff want it cool. Your customers should be comfortable while watching the play. It was not only me and my guest. We heard others talking about this too. I am new to the Dallas area and would love to go again. I have been to many theaters and never had this happen.

I love supporting our local theater; they are amazing with the productions, costuming, choreography, amazing voices, etc. They sell some refreshments...everything at this point is $2 each. Theres not a bad seat in the house and you cant beat the prices!

This is a hidden jewel. We went to see Grease with our 8 yr old daughter. It was great. Tickets were very affordable and they even sell beer and wine... They also supplied blankets for anyone who wanted one.

The Firehouse Theatre was a very nice theater. The staff were friendly, they had concessions, and the play was great! The actors were very good and even though it is a small theater, they were very good. They even provided blankets if you wanted. If you are planning to come to town or live here, you should look into it. We were just visiting but would come back in the future if we were here.

Review №44

The Firehouse Theatre is a one-of-a-kind playhouse with some of the most talented actors and actresses around! Youll be able to see all the action in stage with their newly installed seating and enjoy all the wonders that local theatre can bring. Be sure to check out their website for parking information as parking is usually the biggest issue for such a lively venue. Since it was once a firehouse and NOT a theatre, parking wasnt catered to the large crowds. Their parking map shows where you should park when visiting. Over all, an easy place to find and an even easier place to be delighted at.

I saw Aida and I was very impressed with the quality of this community production. They had found some very talented singers, dancers and actors and it was well staged. My only major complaint was that the lighting was not good and frequently not on the actors when they were speaking or singing. The greeters and ushers were friendly and the seating was comfortable. They offered blankets to patrons as apparently theyve had complaints that the theater is too cold, but I did not need the blanket and was comfortable with the temperature. I will definitely attend another performance here.

I HAVE ATTENDED TWO SHOWS WITH GROUP FROM THE TRADITION SENIOR LIVING. BOTH WERE EXCELLENT. IT WAS EVIDENT, HOWEVER, THAT THE PLACE AND THE STAFF ARE NOT QUITE READY FOR ALL THE WALKERS, ETC. THIS WAS SOMEWHAT OF A PROBLEM WHEN WE WENT TO THE LYRIC STAGE IN IRVING BUT THEY WERE MORE EXPERIENCED IN HANDLING THIS OLDER CROWD.

Looking to try someplace new on date night, we decided to try The Music Man at The Firehouse Theater. And we were not disappointed! Not only is the performance fabulous, the theater is fantastic! Small and intimate, theres not a bad seat in the house! On a side note, the theater can get chilly so maybe bring a cardigan. But dont worry if you forget, the theater provides light blankets for use!

I got tickets as a prize at a gala in Cedar Hill. Didn’t know what to expect from a small regional theater. Saw ‘Of Mice and Men’ and was amazed at the quality of the production. The acting was fantastic and unquestionably professional, all around. The theater is intimate and comfortable and the staff is very friendly. Definitely worth the drive from Cedar Hill to Farmersbranch.
