 Experience the 1929 Berlin club scene with Blackfriars Theatre (795 East Main Street) for Kander and Ebb's Cabaret, running May 10th-26th. 

“Les Liaisons Dangereuses” is a story with myriad adaptations. The 18th century novel was spun into a stage play in 1985 by playwright Christopher Hampton, which was then adapted into the 1988 film “Dangerous Liaisons”, which was THEN adapted into the 90’s cult sensation “Cruel Intentions.” It’s not hard to understand why; who doesn’t love tawdry palace intrigue with a dash (Splash? Tidal wave?) of sexuality and decadence? If these things are piquing your interest, better hurry to Rochester’s Blackfriars Theatre before February 11th.

Join Blackfriars Theatre for a game of revenge and manipulation set in pre-Revolutionary France. Performances run January 26 - February 11.

What did our critic think of MISS BENNETT: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY at Blackfriars Theatre?

This holiday season, cozy up with Blackfriars Theatre (795 East Main Street, Rochester) for the infectiously delightful new classic, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. Featuring all of your favorite Pride and Prejudice characters, the story picks up where the novel left off at the grand estate of newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy.

Join Blackfriars Theater for its flashy, laugh-out-loud season opener, Spamalot, opening September 9th. Written by Monty Python alum, Eric Idle, with music by John DuPrez, the plot for this fan favorite is lovingly borrowed from the classic film comedy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Ordinary Days by Adam Gwon tells the story of four New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they hunt for happiness, fulfillment, love, and the nearest Starbucks. The vibrant, contemporary-pop score is chock-full of memorable songs, which weave audiences through a host of vignettes: getting lost in an art gallery, boyfriends buying the wrong wine, and fast-approaching deadlines. The story's heart comes from its humor and relatability, with a celebration of how 8.3 million individual stories come together in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.

Just in time for Halloween, Blackfriars Theatre is bringing Rochester the pinnacle leather-clad cult classic, possibly the only musical/science fiction/ horror/comedy in the theatre annals. Prepare to do the Time Warp, because The Rocky Horror Show has landed!
