On this episode I am joined by Donna Spencer. She is the artistic producer and one of the founding directors of the Firehall Arts Centre in Vancouver, BC. She is the winner of the Jessie Richardson Outstanding Direction Award for Urinetown, the Musical and for Reading Hebron. She is the recipient of a Jessie Richardson Award for Multicultural Innovation in the Theatre and the Jessie Richardson Career Achievement Award. She was awarded the City of Vancouver’s Mayor’s Arts Award for Theatre in 2012 and recognized by the B.C. Achievement Foundation for her theatre and dance works. She is a member of the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame.
The Firehall Arts Centre was originally first firehall in Vancouver, located at 280 E Cordova. The 2022/23 season marks the 40th Anniversary of the theatre. The goal of the theatre is to connect communities and strives to provide a greater understanding of diverse and inclusive stories. They offer tickets on a sliding scale and have pay-what-you-can performances.
We discuss what impacts covid has had on not only the Firehall Arts Centre but the arts in Vancouver, BC and what struggles they had to endure over the last three years but what changes they have made going forward. We discuss the variety of performances that will be available this season. They truly offer something for everyone.
