FIREHOUSE OFFSITE
war in pieces
A Festival of One-Act Plays by Virginia Veterans
April 4 - 13, 2025
The Firehouse Theatre is proud to announce we are once again partnering with the Virginia War Memorial Foundation on War in Pieces, four one-act plays written by Virginia veterans. The plays that are to be produced in War in Pieces were developed through the Mighty Pen Project, the Virginia War Memorial Foundation’s 12-week long university-level writing classes offered for free to veterans and their families. New York Times bestselling author and founder of the MPP David L. Robbins teaches the classes.
Performances will take place at Virginia War Memorial's VMI Alumni Hall, 621 S. Belvidere St. Richmond VA.
The john mitchell jr. project
The Firehouse Theatre, in collaboration with the Virginia Museum of History and Culture and the Richmond Planet Foundation, has commissioned playwright Kristen Adele Calhoun to dramatize the life and times of John Mitchell Jr., the “fighting editor” of The Richmond Planet Newspaper. The John Mitchell Jr. Project serves as a pilot for ongoing partnership between Firehouse Theatre and the Virginia Museum of History and Culture to dramatize untold stories from Virginia's history. Project strategy and marketing will be provided by BROWNBAYLOR™.
