Blackfriars is proud to invite you to our new theater located in Rochester's "Theatre Row" along Main St.  We are now in our 61st season of providing quality theatrical entertainment to the Greater Monroe County and Finger Lakes region.

Blackfriars Theatre is a mid-sized professional theatre that has entertained audiences for 61 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.

Blackfriars Theatre produces a theatrical season starting each fall and running through May.  We also produce summer theatre with more limited engagements.  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.
