The SCHORR FAMILY FIREHOUSE STAGE, located on the first floor of the former Municipal Building at 48 Willow Street in the area formerly occupied by fire wagons, horses and trucks, is ideal for reuse as an alternative theater performance venue to support the Goodwill Theatre Performing Arts Center and School Complex.  The SCHORR FAMILY FIREHOUSE STAGE is located directly in the center of Broome County and is easily reached via the Vestal Parkway, Main Street, Floral Avenue and New York State Highway Route 17.

The Municipal Building was built in 1899 and was partially funded by Horace and George Lester of the Lester Bros. Boot & Shoe Company, the predecessor of Endicott Johnson.  The building was designed by Sullivan and Bagley.  It held the Mayor's Office, fire trucks, and an elaborately paneled courtroom.  The basement held Village Offices, a vault and several bowling lanes.  Tea dances, community sing-a-longs and events were held in the top floor.  In 1899 the Central Fire Station housed the newly consolidated professional Endicott Johnson C. Fred Johnson Hose Company No.2 and the volunteer Independent Hose Company No.1, forming the Lestershire Fire Department. 

The SCHORR FAMILY FIREHOUSE STAGE offers a flexible stage and can accommodate 125-150 seats, depending on the configuration.  The Lobby features the former "Music Box Jazz Club" art-deco bar.  The Stage and Patron Lounge/Actor Lab are used during the daytime for classes, workshops and meetings.  Opened in October of 2007, the SCHORR FAMILY FIREHOUSE STAGE is a superb venue for intimate theatrical performances, dance, puppetry, classical music, a Story Time Theater Series, jazz, comedy, family film reels, cabaret, staged readings and more. In addition, the SCHORR FAMILY FIREHOUSE STAGE is available to rent for corporate or private events and meetings.
