The Firehouse’s arts education program, Second Act Readers’ Theater, is show biz without the stress! Individuals perform while comfortably seated and there is no memorization required. We welcome individuals 55 and older, regardless of experience, to participate in the magic of theater. Second Act Readers' Theater is generously funded in part by The Friendship Foundation.

JACK NEARY 's plays have been produced all over the United States, in Canada, in Paris and, most recently, Saudi Arabia. He is cofounder of New Century Theatre at Smith College, and the Greater Lowell (MA) Music Theatre.
