    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!

It was almost like life theater because the first row was basically on the stage with the performer, single woman performer right in the middle of everything so it was a really cool. First experience the staff was very friendly. They have a full bar with snacks and yeah, they have a lot of associations with non-for-profit loaves and fish as the sponsor for the show who feed the homeless and there was other art organizations present there as well. You know it's a great central theater that has like a lot of like really good shows known for having great actors from Ithaca College, so usually seeing a performance in the city is a solid choice and I definitely recommend the kitchen theater. Their regular shows. It's very popular.

The building is modern and artistic in a simple way. It was my first time coming here and I suppose I had the expectation it would be like the other plays I'd seen in my life; your standard auditorium and sitting in darkness, alone to my own devices. I was pleasantly surprised! Their motto is "bold, intimate, engaging", and I soon found out why as I walked back a hall which entered into a small theatre where the relatively small amount of seats were placed in such away around the room you had no choice but be part of the stage. What an experience. It was like someone was not only telling you a story, but acting it out for you... You personally. And they were so close they would all make eye contact with you from time to time making it more personal. I felt engaged and pulled along with the story. They move so fast and don't have time or a way to dim the lights and move props etc so it's interesting how creative they get... It's literally like daddy acting out a story to his children at some points, very sweet and special. You can tell the actors are having fun, and they did a splendid job! I'd go back, but make sure to reserve ahead if you can- it's small!

We weren't sure what to expect since we often attend theatrical productions on Broadway in New York City, however, the cast and the staging and direction was so professional, that this show could have been performed in Schubert Alley! If you have a chance to attend one of their shows this summer , get tickets and if you live in the vicinity, consider buying a subscription! The theater is a lovely building overlooking a large lake and they serve very reasonably priced refreshments!

    One of the finer regional theaters I have seen shows…read more I saw the production last year of "I'll Be Back Before Midnight" and was very impressed. The level of talent was very strong and across the board. I hesitated to write a review of the theater until I had seen at least 2 shows. When looking at theater companies the more shows you see the better you can gage the consistency of shows. This time I saw "Making God Laugh" and had the same experience that I had a year ago. (I will not review the play but the theater itself) The staff are open, friendly and truly have a love of their theater. A quaint 2 story building that from the outside gives the feel that your coming over to grandmas house to meet family. The area around is a nice park with a lake. Perfect for a family picnic before the show. Inside the theater is not a small black box. This is a fully functioning professional theater. An excellent lighting grid, the sets are fully realized as well as the talent. Price per show is well worth it. Air conditioned, comfortable seats and good acoustics make the experience enjoyable. The best part (as in all theater) is the quality of the shows. The technical meets the performances. I truly enjoyed both nights of theater. Professional quality shows with a home town local vibe... A gem in the crown of regional theater.
