A fabulous theater space in middle of the Finger Lakes, and completely worth a drive from the…read moreRochester area. I have been to this theater pre-covid in 2019 and after they opened again in 2021. Both fabulous shows (South Pacific and 42nd Street), both Broadway-level talent and professionalism. The theater itself is/was called the Merry Go Round Playhouse as it used to house a carousel. I believe the building is about 100 years old. The grounds are in a park and overlooking a lake, and there is a patio area and seating to enjoy wine and snacks before the show or during intermission. The restrooms (at least the women's) could use some extra attention and/or a renovation - they are small and not going to pass a stringent cleanliness check. Other than that, the experiences here have been a fun date night/road trip. If you like musical theater, this is a must do!

This is just one of Auburn's local treasures. I have been to several events here and am thankful…read morethat this venue makes available to us many different artful experiences. Some of the events I have been a part of here are: I have seen many live theatre shows (both local and national acts) I have come here to listen to bands. Once again, local, national, and even international performances I have watched comedic acts here... including the owner as well as famous acts I have watched movies here I have come here for film and discussion events My grandson has taken acting classes I have attended photo and art exhibits, as well as demonstrations There may be other opportunities that I am missing, but I have had the pleasure to attend many interesting events at this venue. The owners are very community oriented and have done a really nice job bringing cultural events and workshops to our small city. Definitely worth checking out!

We started going because my daughter was too afraid to be in dance without me and they offered a mommy and me class, which most studios dont offer. It was perfect for us and when she was ready they moved her up to the other class.

Well, I just went to see Guys and Dolls. The last play I went to was The Jersey Boys before all…read morethis woke crap. The acting and music was great but I could not get past a male playing a lead female role. It just ruined it for me. I felt like I was at a woke college campus playhouse where the players were alphabet soup people parading around. Not sure if I can go see another play again if they are going to be doing this to all the plays. The only way I could honestly rate this is if there were categories to rate separately so I was restricted to giving it a 1-star rating. Again, the acting and music was great, and it was entertaining but I walked out of there wondering what the hell did I just witness? I just don't understand how less than 1% of the population has to ruin everything for the rest of the 99%.

What a phenomenal old theater in wonderful condition. The…read morearchitecture is opulent and stunningly decorative and beautifully done. You don't even really need to see a show to want to just come see the building itself. I did of course come to see Get the Led out a Led Zeppelin cover band that did a great job at playing as close as possible to the original. I love that this venue is available close to home. Syracuse has lots to offer. This theater is palace waiting to be discovered.

What a beautiful theater! I've been to this theater a couple of times now, and I've always had a…read morepleasant experience. The new renovations make this theater absolutely sparkle. The stairs in the balcony section are steep but I found the seats, themselves, to be quite comfortable. The sound and view from my seats were also always excellent. The ushers are very helpful and friendly as well. I can't wait to come back for another performance!

I was there for the Cat Video Fest. It's such a wonderfully restored building. I will be keeping…read moremy eyes out for other shows to come see. The popcorn from the concession stand was awesome. The staff was engaging and friendly. The seats, or at least the one I had, was a little rough on the back side, so if you have back issues, come prepared.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, the seats were comfortable and were not cramped -- we were in the second row left. We felt like we were on stage. I didn't use the ladies' room or visit the bar, which I was told is a beautiful copper bar. 4 stars instead of 5 because the act itself was not of the caliber I expected. Perhaps it was a one-off. I look forward to returning again if I am in the area.

BVT is a gem of a summer stock theatre company located in Naples, NY! It's about an hour drive from…read moredowntown Rochester, and provides a wonderful day trip opportunity, given the proximity to the finger lakes, wineries, and gorgeous views. The theatre itself a repurposed church, replete with pews for seating (gorgeous on the eyes, less kind on the tushy if you're settling in for a longer musical or play.) Like any good summer theater company, they turn shows around within a week and the sets are always top notch. In addition to their summer season, they offer a reading program for emerging writers where plays can be previewed by the Naples community, AND a summer education program for Naples students. The staff is wonderful and welcoming. BVT is my go-to for all things Finger Lakes entertainment, and I am looking forward to seeing what they have in store for summer 2019!
