Firestone Theatre is set to undertake its biggest theatre season yet. The several new projects are featured in the 2011-2012 theatre season that also includes three Main Stage productions in addition to a series of smaller performances in a Second Stage series. An affordable subscription is available at an adult and student price.

Kersker Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 13; Friday, October 14; and Saturday, October 15, 2011. This short play is the true tale of the tragic collision of a struggling circus and a tiny Tennessee town. The series continues with Black Girl by J.E. Franklin. This play about a young woman trapped in a life that leads nowhere will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 1; Friday, December 2; and Saturday, December 3, 2011. The General admission tickets for both plays are $5.00 if bought in advance and $7.00 at the door. VIP, reserved tickets are also available for $9.00 and include a reserved seat in the front of the auditorium as well as access to the special VIP room prior to the show and at intermission, if applicable.
