MAJoin us for a night of laughs as we welcome back Comedy Night at the Firehouse, featuring a wealth of comedic talent! Hosted by Mike Smith and featuring Jim Colliton and Joe Espi.
The Producers
MAThe plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.

Seussical the Musical

Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Smolak Farms 315 S Bradford St, North Andover, MA, United StatesAn eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.

Their most recent release, "Wet & Unlucky" is an album-length collaboration with the Arkansas based country band Dylan Earl and the Reasons Why. The band, now including Newburyport's Alan Bull on drums, is excited to return to the Firehouse stage for the first time in ten years.
