I hate writing a review like this because I really do support the underground arts, but I came to…read moreone play here a little while back and it there were a lot of issues. So the play that I went to see was a play that was performed at The Forum a couple years ago, and I skipped out on it because I was broke at the time. I was excited that there was a cheaper version coming to EPAC, I thought that it was the same group of traveling semi-pro actors but at a smaller venue. I was wrong. This was amateur hour. There were a couple good actors in the group, but the rest of em were about as good as the average high student. They were all local but most of them have a long way to go before they make it big. A couple of them were over-acting, they were very melodramatic. The main character was good, but the character was supposed to be an angsty teen and it was played by a bald guy in his 30's! The sound was a nightmare too, some characters' mics weren't working while other ones were too loud and there was a lot of microphone feedback too. The actor who started the play off came in off cue, and it was a huge struggle for me to not burst out laughing during the first song. So unfortunately I was very underwhelmed with my first theater experience here, I'm in zero rush to go back. The theater itself looks really nice, but it's a little unorganized, there seemed to be a lot of confusion as to where people were supposed to sit, but that might not have been the theater's fault, it was probably dumb audience members. The play was $20 and really it should have only been $10 because of the bad quality of the show.

Local theater is amazing.. EPAC is not a pro group at all they never said they were. But I will…read moretell you this is a true community theater.. Endicott Performing Arts Center is the true meaning of Community Theater.. They are proud of every show that is put on there, and strive to make each show better and better...Opinions are like butt holes every one has one.....And most people are big ones like baboon butts....How ever doing a show is not an easy thing there is many aspects of a show that the audience never knows about but you know what?Live theater is just that LIVE. Mistakes will be made. Most of what you hear at the forum ect is pre recorded if the actor isn't feeling well or the chorus sound horrible. Only the leads sing live if they can.. This is done in most cases with shows here and on Broadway.. Sound, Lights, costumes, programs, and actors and there schedules donate there time to perform for you.. NO one gets paid unlike actors who come from new York city who are under equity contracts who have to be payed weather your butts in the seat or not.. Who really don't care other that the money that's coming in.. EPAC casts have amazing hearts and there doing this for the love of theater. Not to mention keeping up a land mark building who's trying to be a leader in a dying community...I wouldn't listen to negative reviews about epac. Please go and support local community theater. They need your support......
