The Firehouse Center for the Arts is committed to the belief that the arts are an essential part of the learning experience. They enhance creativity, teach lessons in non-traditional ways, give youngsters the opportunity to express themselves in ways they never knew possible, and can establish a lifetime interest in artistic involvement.
To encourage these benefits, the Firehouse Center brings arts attractions to Northern Essex County specifically with young audiences in mind. We are grateful to the Newburyport Bank for their commitment to youngsters throughout the region, and their support of this vital link in the educational chain. Thanks to Richie Eaton, and all of the folks at the Newburyport Bank, our local schools are a richer place to learn.
If you know of schools that might be interested in these enrichment programs, please call Evelyn Kovach, School Show Coordinator, at 508.641.7135 or send her an email.
These specific performances are for schools only and are not available to the general public. Please go to the Family Entertaiment page to see showtimes for the whole family that are during nights and weekends at the Firehouse.
