Grammy and Tony Award winners, Broadway headliners, Rock and Jazz legends, award-winning Theater companies...the Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton has announced its 2014-2015 season line-up.
The Firehouse is turning five, and has become a "destination venue" for the greater Bay Area. "We are seeing our audiences increasingly coming from San Francisco, the South and North Bay, as well as all over the East Bay and valley," says Jane Onojafe, publicist for the Firehouse. "Our Theater Supervisor Rob Vogt is doing a fantastic job bringing in world-class headliners across a broad range of offerings, and we are now getting more and more repeat patrons from across the Bay who have discovered our sophisticated programming and intimate venue, with great strolling and wining-dining options right out our front doors. Word is getting around."
Highlights: Singer, songwriter, actor, and author Lisa Loeb, "Walking in Memphis" Grammy winner Mark Cohn, Jazz guitarist and "godfather of fusion" Larry Coryell, Will Durst with his new act Boomeraging, the hit fusion group QUATTRO, and Ireland's foremost tenor Mr. Anthony Kearns. Of note in the "larger productions" category are the incredible (pardon our bias here) Swingle Singers from London, England - the best large a cappella group around.
Returning: Special nod to the big return of December People: the rock 'n roll holiday blow-out concert that has become THE holiday happening wherever they appear. (NOTE: Concert venue is Amador Theater, get tickets early.)
Three distinct theatre companies call the Firehouse Arts Center home. On the theater bill this season: Singin' In The Rain, Forever Plaid, Fiddler On The Roof, Dr. Doolittle Jr., Pinocchio, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.
Memberships: Roll-out of the FAC Member Programs. Three different options are available for becoming a Firehouse Member to enjoy ticket discounts, drink vouchers, downtown merchant discounts, and other perks.
