Welcome to Blackfriars Theatre
Blackfriars is proud to invite you to our new theater located in
Rochester's "Theatre Row" along Main St. We are now in our 62nd season
of providing quality theatrical entertainment to the Greater Monroe
County and Finger Lakes region.
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 are
proud to bring live entertainment in the form of dramatic and musical
productions to our local community in western New York.
Our Philosophy
Blackfriars Theatre is a mid-sized professional theatre that has
entertained audiences for 63 years in downtown Rochester, New York. Our
mission has been 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 Blackfriars provides.
