Light the way for multilingual theatre!
Red Demon needs YOU to light the lobby. 🏮
We're filling the Firehall Arts Centre lobby with paper lanterns, each one hand-lettered with a donor's name. Sponsor a lantern, and it's yours to take home once the run ends.
This year, some funding we were counting on fell through — and your support is what helps Red Demon reach its full potential!
Please note that the lantern request deadline has past as of Sept 27, 11:59PM, but donors who want to donate will still receive a donation receipt and a personal thank you.
Every gift, at every level, is celebrated. Scan the QR code or click the link to donate — thank you for helping us light the way. ✨

Immigration, borders, social division—issues that continue to shape our world today were already at the heart of Hideki Noda's visionary masterpiece Red Demon. Since its premiere in 1996, the play has been reimagined by Noda with actors in Japan, the United Kingdom, Thailand, and South Korea. Now, for the very first time, Red Demon makes its Canadian premiere in Vancouver under the direction of Mayumi Yoshida.
