For evening performances, we have personnel stationed outside for the duration of the performance to keep an eye on bikes and vehicles. We also have bicycle storage space in our gated courtyard. Ask a member of staff for assistance upon arrival.

Community Navigators:

We’ve partnered with Mission Possible’s Employment Readiness Program to provide escorts to and from your vehicle. They are also stationed outside the theatre to keep an eye on vehicles parked on the street outside during the show.

Mission Possible empowers people typically excluded from the traditional workforce—like those facing homelessness and housing insecurity, poverty, and other barriers to employment—by paving a pathway to jobs and lasting change. Our Community Navigators come from our Downtown Eastside community and are paid for their time.

Theatre Policies

At the Firehall, we want everyone’s viewing experience to be memorable for all the right reasons. In service of this goal, we have a few general policies to keep in mind when you visit.

In consideration of your fellow patrons, we ask that our audiences turn off their cellphones before performances.

Photography and video recording of performances without permission is not allowed.

Children are welcome for most productions, but please keep in mind that some of our shows contain content that may not be appropriate for children. We do not provide age guidelines but feel free to call or email if you have any specific questions about a show. Babes in arms are not permitted and all children, regardless of age, must have a ticket.

Since crunching, crinkling and strong food aromas can be disturbing to others, the consumption of outside food in the theatre is not permitted. Snacks and drinks from the Firehall bar have been chosen to ensure they do not interrupt your viewing enjoyment.
