It is an opulent space, and the presentations are top-notch with noteworthy speakers to introduce the films and high-quality musical accompaniment. The concession stand has delicious popcorn and regional drink options including Moxie. The fact that a theatre of this history and quality exists outside of a big city, and even moreso, the fact that it still regularly runs film is astounding and special.

They are all throwbacks to a different era and you can really feel the history when you witness a performance at this venue. I recently saw a musical here and loved every minute of it.

Overall I had a very pleasing experience at the Stanley and would love to go back sometime.

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!

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!

Gorgeous theatre in downtown Syracuse. Parking is available on street or at several parking garages…read moresurrounding the area, be prepared to pay extra for event pricing if you go with a garage. The venue made check in quick and easy which was appreciated. The theatre did feel crowded at times but we were able to navigate to our seats with no issue. Bathrooms located on upper and lower level were clean. Food and drinks were available including beer and wine. Food options were limited to candy and snack items. The sound carried well for our concert and the seats were okay. Not the most comfortable but I understand it is an older theatre. I only wish we had more room for dancing during the show, as it was a tight squeeze. The theatre has many striking features that give it a grand feeling. You can look around and see history in the design. Overall, a good experience seeing David Byrne in concert here.

I have heard of the Glimmerglass Opera since I lived in Western NY, but never visited…read more What prompted me to come on a whim were two particular productions, The Pirates of Penzance and Calisto. I have not seen these operas in many years. I am from NYC and used to live a block from the Gibert & Sullivan Society and frequent their presentations. Calisto was last seen by me in another opera house many years ago. Both Glimmerglass productions are excellent in every respect. Vocally, musically, scenery, costumes. I truly enjoyed coming to this beautiful opera house in upstate New York. There is special accessible parking, and they provide cart transport from car to gate before and after the performance.

Parking was an easy relatively short walk away from the main stage. If you need a more accessible option, there is a lot that is closer as well as crew providing rides with several golf carts. Once you are at the main building, the restrooms and other areas of interest are all within sight. If you are not familiar with this venue - take their suggestion to dress for the weather seriously! It's "open air" but not really. There are walls that open up around the venue, but for what I'm assuming would be lighting purposes and maybe sound integrity, are closed during the actual show (at least this particular show I went to). There are not unlimited shady spots, so if you're sensitive to heat, you may want to ensure that you arrive quite early (at least an hour) to get your pick if you are planning to hang out on campus for a bit before the show. I would strongly recommend bringing a water bottle with ice on a hot day. They let you bring in your own, definitely take advantage of that. I was thankful to have plenty of cold water to sip during the show; it can get a little stuffy in the venue with the walls are closed up and it's filled with patrons. Quality of the show was top notch. I believe our tickets were around $80 each, and we had a seat on the far side of the orchestra section. Even being almost as far to the side as one could be, I had no issues seeing what was going on peripherally and there was nothing to block my direct view. This is to say, I think there's probably not a bad seat in the house. The performers were excellent. I'd never seen this particular show, and I'm so glad I can now say that I have. I would have gladly paid double for the value of this experience. Bottom line: Great venue, great experience, will definitely be back. If you're especially heat sensitive - you might struggle a little bit - bring lots of water, consider buying seats closer to the back (at the back of the orchestra I spotted a large industrial fan), and/or bring a fan of some sort.

Returning to the Hangar Theatre felt like coming home. We got lucky enough to catch a performance…read moreof "Matilda", sponsored by the wonderful Running to Places Theatre Company. The evening turned into a lively night. Watching the young cast navigate those first-night jitters with such grace became a joy. The audience felt their excitement in every note. Walking through those doors brought back a flood of memories--most notably, our best man Andrew's wedding. Rare to find a space that can host both life's biggest milestones and the budding dreams of local actors. The Hangar has built a reputation for excellence. I feel proud to support it.

Parking was a breeze which was really nice - the theatre is also conveniently located so you can hop right back on the road and head home after seeing a show if coming from Rochester region. I loved that they served finger lakes wine at the concession stand, and all of the volunteers and staff I encountered were wonderful and helpful. We went on a HOT day, and I wish for the outdoor stage they would have sprung for a covered option. The bulk of the audience were boiling by the time the razors came out, and we still had two hours of murderous fun left to go. The show itself had its great and not so great moments (I am not sure if it was a budgetary thing but the set for this show was...off putting. I don't need to be reminded that they're eating humans in word form on the set - there's a Greek chorus to remind me every other scene! Also, there were pretty severe issues with the mix and sound. Forgetting to turn actors mics back on, inability to hear the orchestra at times, etc.) Overall the cast and team at Hangar absolutely did the best they could given the circumstances all theatres are being forced to operate under right now, and I am SO GLAD to be out watching theatre and making snide comments about sets again! If there's a show you love playing here - go go go! Broadway talent and stardom in FLX!
