    Firehouse is NEFA Grant Recipient

    The  Firehouse Center for the Arts is thrilled to announce that we have received a grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts' New England States Touring program.   The Firehouse Center for the Arts will be using NEFA funds to present Shakesperience Productions, Inc.'s performance of Hamlet. The Firehouse has not presented Shakespeare in any form since 2006. In addition to a public performance of Hamlet, Shakesperience Productions, Inc. will present two in-school workshops at Newburyport High School, where the students are studying Shakespeare, one workshop at the Firehouse for youth in an upcoming production of Midsummer Night's Dream, and one public workshop.

    This grant was funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program and the six New England state arts agencies.

    If you recieve another grant you should consider getting a flying rig. There could be many more production possibilities in the future with that!
