Remembering 9/11 Heroes - Rappin Fireman

Our mission is to provide  New York City children and adults an affordable educational experience through entertainment. Our organization initially began with just providing performances on fire safety and prevention.  Our fire safety performances provide our audience with an exciting experience by use of puppets, music, songs and robots. We also offer a variety of theatrical performances via the5dollarplay.com and the firehouse circus. Our plays have current cultural themes and are held in venues throughout the New York City metropolitan area.

Fire House Circus

We offer free or low cost drama lessons to inner city children, along with providing struggling adult actors a chance to do the work they love. The firehouse circus debuted in 2007. The first of it’s kind, we were successful at blending our fire safety theme with the use of common circus acts.

East Harlem Rep. Theatre

All of our shows are provided with a matching coloring book which is used as an educational aid. Last but not least we have a remembering heroes program. As part of our rappin’ fireman performance, this program focuses on reminding our audience of our 911 heroes by use of story telling and pictures.  Our ultimate goal is to be able to provide exciting educational entertainment to children and adults regardless of income.
