The Firehall Arts Centre (also called the Firehall Centre for the Arts) is an arts centre in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1] The building also falls within the borders of Gastown.[2] Firehall is a small building,[3] originally built as a fire station in 1906.[4] Three theatre companies are based out of Firehall: Touchstone Theatre, Firehall Theatre Company, and Axis Mime.[5] Firehall is devoted to exhibiting dance, performance art, and new plays.[6] Firehall is Vancouver's foremost exhibitor of experimental theatre.[7] The theatre has a 150-seat capacity.[8] St. James Anglican Church is diagonally opposite the intersection from Firehall.[9] Every year, Firehall hosts a dance festival called "Dancing on the Edge" that lasts two weeks.[10]
