Blackfriars Theatre is a mid-sized professional
theatre that has entertained audiences for more than 50 years in downtown Rochester,
NY. Our mission is to provide the best possible showcase for actors and actresses, theater artists,
and technicians who have chosen to make Rochester their home. Many of our family
have moved on to acting and technical roles in regional theatre, Broadway, movies,
and television - a testament to the training that Blackfriars provides.
Blackfriars Theatre produces 6 plays each year (5 per season, 1 special summer
show). Our theatrical season starts each fall and runs through May. Our committed
group of performers, technicians, and volunteers is proud to bring live entertainment
in the form of dramatic and musical productions to our local community.
