2007 Atlantic City Airshow

Rochester community-theater guide

Rochester is home to literally dozens of community-theater organizations that stage productions featuring the on- and off-stage talents of area residents. Below find brief descriptions of many of these groups. If we inadvertently missed your group, please e-mail eric@rochester-citynews.com and we will add it to the online version of this piece at rochestercitynewspaper.com .

Artists Unlimited has existed for 10 years, "bringing the theater and performing experience to teens and adults who are physically and developmentally disabled," according to its website. It specializes in Broadway shows like "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Beauty and the Beast," and most performances take place at the German House. Current President Steve Pasquarella says, "We combine individuals who have disabilities with actors who don't, and it has really fostered some valuable friendships." The next Artists Unlimited performance will be "Annie" in November 2011. Visit rocartistsunlimited.com for production and audition information.

Black Sheep Theatre was founded in 2006. Past performances included "Harvey," "Lysistrata," and an annual Agatha Christie mystery. "We try to stick with simple sets and let the work of the actors move the story along," says Kevin Swift, the theater's artistic co-director and technical director. Black Sheep's performances take place in a small, black-box style theater at Village Gate. Black Sheep also conducts a summer program for teens with an interest in the theater. Check the group's website ( blacksheeptheatre.org ) and Facebook page for information on productions and auditions.

Blackfriars Theatre has been around for 62 years, and is currently located in its own theater at 795 E. Main St. Director John Haldoupis describes Blackfriars as "similar to Geva Theater, the only difference being that we use all local talent." Blackfriars just wrapped its most recent season with The Who's "Tommy." Upcoming shows include "Sunday in the Park with George" in late July and August, and "Tea at Five," a play about Katharine Hepburn, in September. Visit bftix.org or the theater's Facebook page for news and updates, including open-audition calls.

Bread and Water Theatre specializes in what artistic director J.R. Teeter calls "new theater," performing plays that are usually less than five years old and that are related to topics going on in the world right now. The theater is 12 years old and puts on multiple shows each season, including its Rainbow Theater Festival, which features works concerning the LGBT community. Bread and Water holds its performances at 243 Rosedale Street. Upcoming shows include a revival of "The Paris Letter" in July and "Polaroid Stories" in October.
