Are you an artist looking for a stage?
Come to The Graham!
Local Charm.
Located in Downtown Wake Forest, The Graham is located in a historic building. Formerly known as the W.W. Holding Cotton Exchange, the space served as a cotton warehouse for many years. The train, which used to pick up cotton around back, still runs through Wake Forest daily.
The Theatre.
Firebox Theatre Company, resident to The Graham, operates in a 65 seat black box theatre. Risers are located on 3 sides making it a 3/4 thrust stage. The space can be re-arranged for performances and art events. Several chairs, round tables, rectangle tables and cocktail tables are available for use. A rolling bar is also included in its amenities. A small dressing room as well as a food prep/green room are located in the back of the space. While capacity is 230, we recommend keeping the guest list to 150 or less.
A Baby Grand Piano sits in the corner and is available for musicians to play!
A reception area along with a rolling bar makes for the perfect front of house experience.
For guests with accessibility needs, there is a ramp located along the back of The Graham.
