Join Blackfriars Theatre for its 75th Anniversary Season, honoring the legacy of 75 years of ambitious, local, professional theatre in downtown Rochester presenting DOT! What's It All About? Dot’s memory is slipping as her three children - an overwhelmed attorney, a gay musicologist with marital problems, and an aspiring actress hoping to appear on “Celebrity Mud Fight” - clash over how best to care for their proud, lovable matriarch. This hilarious and moving new play grapples with aging parents, midlife crises, and the heart of an inner-city neighborhood.

Based on the hilarious film, this fish-out-of-water musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There, he turns a class of straight-A students into a mind-blowing rock band with roof-raising energy. A family show for all ages!

He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry comes to Rochester in MJ, the multiple Tony Award®-winning musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour. Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. It’s thrilling sold-out crowds on Broadway, in cities across North America, and in London’s West End…and now MJ is startin’ somethin’ in Rochester as it makes its premiere at West Herr Auditorium Theatre in December 2024.

We are a Christmas tree farm offering Choose and Cut Christmas trees, pre-cut trees, wreaths, and a country Christmas market.

The George Eastman Museum is delighted to announce the forthcoming exhibition, Scene at Eastman, which will open through April 20, 2025. The exhibition will comprise a set of photographs and sculptures made in aluminum, glass, concrete, paper, tin, and other materials. The photographs and sculptures in Scene at Eastman (“the works”) describe various acts and instances of apprehension, of address, of attendance to the presence of others. Some objects are original, others appropriated. The viewer’s own private practice of looking is solicited by the works. Viewers are alerted to the presence of cameras within the exhibition space: to enter the galleries is to be observed.

It’s that time of year again when the silver screen turns to tinsel and we celebrate the end of the year with holiday classics on the big screen. Highlighted by a rare 35mm print of the Alistair Sim-led adaptation of A Christmas Carol, this series brings together films from the last 80 years of cinema to warm the soul and spur the heart to joyousness this holiday season. In between Christmas and New Year’s, you can revisit the landmark science fiction dystopian philoso-fest The Matrix and all of its sequels as the original film turns 25 this year.
