Firestone High School has long presented some of the finest student productions in Northeast Ohio. Thousands of talented actors and directors have passed through our doors over the years and now many of them have gone on to other very successful professional theatrical careers.
Firestone has more recently become the home of the high school component of the district’s nationally recognized Visual and Performing Arts Program. Students from throughout the area make a daily trek to west Akron to take advantage of an outstanding, comprehensive arts curriculum.. Students select from five successful programs: choral music, dance, instrumental music, fine art, and theatre. Each program is designed for the serious student who is intent on pursuing a career in the arts.
Firestone Theatre provides students with the opportunity to appear on stage and contribute to the creative process via a backstage or technical role.
Our students are not just actors but also designers and technicians; our students
learn with their hands as well as their brain as they design sound, lights, scenery,
props, and many other aspects of production. Students run the equipment, pull props,
play an instrument for the musical pit, focus lights, sell tickets, and record sound
effects as well as build, paint, and move scenery.
Firestone Theatre presents a full season of fun and challenging plays and musicals. Each season is thoughtfully selected based on its entertainment value and educational potential. An easily affordable subscription is available for purchase by students and members of the community
Firestone’s Thespian Troupe #5570 was chartered in 1997 and has inducted over 200 Thespians since. Our students are active in a variety of Thespian activities including leadership, state and area conferences as well as the Individual Event Competition and College\University Auditions.
Stage Parents assist in support of activities such as ticket sales, concessions, boutique, star grams, backstage security, auditions management, hosting cast\crew parties, and chaperoning for various trips and conferences, among other activities.
Parents play an important role in our success, too.
