Cute theater and much-needed arts center in downtown Pleasanton. A little small, but the stage would be perfect for a production of Spring Awakening(hint hint). The art gallery downstairs is a lovely way to spend a few minutes before seeing a show. Warning: side balcony seating is best for very tall people, otherwise there is a railing directly in your line of vision.

This place is beautiful! We walked through it the other day and it was quiet, so we got to take a little tour and take a peak into the theatre. This is a very clean, beautifully designed theatre. I cannot wait to come see a show of some sort in the future. I was sad to see that I missed The Chorus Line! I see they had their last showing a few weeks ago. Maybe next time. There is also an art gallery downstairs. Lots of inspiration and beauty to admire.

Love the intimate Firehouse Theater in Downtown Pleasanton. Walking distance from home or restaurants. Prices are reasonable except tonight. Chorus Line cast was not nearly as strong as the director’s previous show, Chicago @ the Firehouse in 2011. The show did not flooooow. Stage too crowded?

This is a very intimate performing arts center and I would be surprised if there are 250 seats in the house. We were on the lower level, second to the last row, in the outer seats on the left. I was still able to see every expression displayed on Collin Quinn’s face during his show«Unconstitutional». You would have to be working with 20/70+ vision to be disappointed with your seat at the Firehouse Arts Center. You have an option to buy beer and wine in the lobby and you can take it into the theater with you. The seats are my only knock on this place. They are comfortable enough for an hour comedy show but I would think twice about purchasing tickets if I had to sit there any longer than that.

I’ve been here twice to see their main stage productions(Beauty and the Beast and RENT). Their shows are amazing! Nice venue, small theater. I was in one of their youth productions this past December. The staff is committed to helping the cast members improve their acting, singing, and dancing skills. They are very talented at what they do. I love seeing and being in their productions, if you are looking for a fun production, definitely check this place out!

Loved coming here to watch a female comedian named Kat from Nevada do her routine. She was very funny and on top of her game. Unfortunately the turn out was poor and there were lots of empty seats. I don’t get it as the tickets were only $ 15 and this was way better than going to the movies. Great place to get some wine and chocolates while seating in the theatre.

What a great little theater! Smartly laid out, well staffed, nice little snack bar. Looks brand new! The sound and lighting were great, too. I didn’t feel blasted noise-wise at this concert, which was awesome. I just loved it. And they have a parking lot! How great. Definitely doing to keep an eye out for future events here.

Reason for visit: Darren Carter & David Lew show Visit date: April 12, 2011 First time? Yes. I’m a huge Darren Carter fan so when I found out he’d be around, I had to snag some seats. The Firehouse Arts Center is über nice. First off, it’s an old firehouse — awesome! And it’s in the cute downtown Pleasanton area. The theater boasts comfy chairs and welcoming staff. It’s classy, too — you can have some wine as you enjoy your show. It’s an intimate theater so it’s a perfect venue when you want it to feel like your very own private performance.
