Blackfriars Theatre is a premier theatrical institution in downtown Rochester and one of the Monroe County's longest running theatres, celebrating 74 years of local theatre-making. Blackfriars's mission is to enrich, entertain and inspire its community through exceptional theatrical artists while engaging local talent. Outside of Geva Theatre Center, the region's LORT theatre company, Blackfriars Theatre is the only other theater in Monroe County that operates in a professional regional theatre production model.

The theatre operates its own venue, runs a year-round production facility, produces a full regional theatre subscription series, employs a small full-time staff, but unlike Geva and other LORT theatres, every single aspect of Blackfriars's programming features local artists – it's central to their mission. Blackfriars strives for and attains professional-level quality work and many Blackfriars artists have worked regionally and professionally, have degrees in the art form and currently work and study in several arts fields.

Blackfriars is the leader for small, professionally-minded, artistically-ambitious community theatre in Rochester, New York, enhancing the quality of life for thousands of Rochester's theatre-lovers and hundreds of local artists each year who have chosen to make Rochester their home. Blackfriars is more than a community theatre… they are the community's theatre.
