I wish i could add another star to the rating, it was that good. Superb acting, dialogue, relevancy, intensity. I didn't even notice the time. What a jewel to find. It could be easily on a bigger more visible stage and the intimacy would not be lost. Get there and see this one.Written on Sep 12 2011

Great acting, wow! Definitely an interesting story of ethics and morals. You felt torn between what the truth really was and then you ask yourself "what would I have done in this situation?" By the end, I was completely convinced of the truth and agreed with the outcome. It's a show you have to be in the mood for (1 person in the audience was pretty anxious in parts and fell asleep in the 2nd half sadly) so be sure to be in the clear-thinking mindset. Recommended for those who like dramas.Written on Jun 23 2011

A moving, thought provoking production. It was delivered with passion and intensity. We really enjoyed it. It's a pity that there were so few people in the audience.Written on Sep 12 2011

Quotes & Highlights
- Based in part on the shooting of Amadou Diallo in the Bronx in 1999.
Description
Laura Coker in association with the Whitefire Theatre presents the world premiere of Firehouse by award-winning playwright, Pedro Antonio Garcia, directed by Bryan Rasmussen, consulting producer Robert "Bobby" Moresco (co-writer of Crash).
Based on true events, this life and death story of the moral choices of firemen explodes when a young girl dies and the firehouse is blamed.
Firehouse is a re-examination of the Amadou Diallo issue set inside a South Bronx firehouse. A probationary, rookie fireman responds to a fire rescuing a veteran firefighter, in lieu of a 12 year-old girl, who dies as a result. The community is outraged; mass demonstrations ensue. The rookie fireman, a former cop who had previously been tried and acquitted -– along with three other cops -- for the murder of an unarmed Puerto Rican, claims to have not seen the young girl.
Is the rookie fireman telling the truth, or is this a case of a cover-up involving race?
Cast: Kamar de los Reyes, Gerald Downey, Jossara Jinaro, Ed Morrone, Elvis Nolasco, Bryan Rasmussen, and Jon Southwell
