We followed them from their previous location and hope to follow them if they reopen in another location. We wish the owners and staff well into the future. Unfortunately, the mall management did not renew their lease because it is closing to become another empty giant graveyard in the Town of Amherst, NY. The town is notorious for allowing developers destroy small business with no legitimate reason or near future plans other than to create humongous empty buildings.

We've been a fan of this venue for years. Remember the Nik Wallenda walk across Niagara Falls in 2012? Well we watched it live on the big screen after the showing of the Marilyn Monroe movie Niagara. Just an example of the different type event they offered. We'll be watching for news on their new location and/ or pop-up events. For now it's Thank You and good bye. Hope to see you soon. 2026-13 2

The…read moreactors were wonderful, but I was expecting an emphasis on celebrating America's 250 Birthday. Instead there were swear words and sexual references. I brought my grandson to this musical. I thought there would be patriotic music, like our National Anthem etc. They made the history of our founders a joke, instead of honoring our great country. I am a veteran of the US Navy and I thank God everyday for this great country. I think they missed the mark on this one. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the United States of America the greatest nation on earth. ​

It's followed by a caprese salad where the cheese is whipped into a savoury mousse studded with…read moredeskinned grape tomatoes and garnished with pickled red onion and basil. It's an interesting take on a caprese, although I would have liked actual mozzarella pieces as well. What makes the dinner interesting is you need to pay attention to the dishes. For most, there's something included in it that helps you with the puzzle. The truffled mushroom cigar looks impressive; a thin crispy crepe filled with a mushroom mousse garnished with black sesame ash to really give it the full effect. It's too sweet for my taste but I get why it's needed in the context of the game. Diners have a choice of mains: beef, chicken, or falafels. We all opted for the braised beef, a decent portion served with silky garlic mashed potatoes, carrots, and green beans in a rich jus. Before the main, I was still hungry but given its sizeable portion it left me satisfied. The beef was nice and tender and quite good for a murder mystery. Before the dessert we're given a palette cleanser. How it comes and what it is, I'll keep secret and not spoil the game. We end with another mousse, this one a cheesecake topped with graham crumbs and a berry compote. It's good, but by this time I'm a bit tired of mousses, just give me something to chew on already! Who knows, maybe they thought their demographic would seniors with no teeth. Having been to several murder mystery dinners, I'd say this was the most enjoyable. The Perfect Bite is more than a show, they include puzzles with each course, which give you clues towards a larger puzzle. Ultimately, it creates a more entertaining and interactive experience and makes for great teamwork to get to the next course. Rest assured, they're not difficult puzzles and if you're stuck, "Frank" the bar manager comes around to steer you in the right direction. Without giving too much away, I also liked that there's a twist, and it culminates in the final puzzle where you can really sleuth by getting out of your seat and using other devices.

I celebrated my birthday at Famous PEOPLE Players Theatre with my mom and teenage son, and…read morehonestly, it was one of the most memorable nights we've had in a long time as a family. I had seen the show many years ago as a teen on a school trip, before they had their own venue. Like a good wine--or anything special that ages with care and purpose--it has only gotten better with time. The cross-city rush hour drive was absolutely worth it once we arrived. The venue, located in a strip mall/industrial park, had plenty of free parking. We stepped into a one-story, open, airy, and accessible building that immediately felt welcoming. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine sense of joy that set the tone for the evening. We were escorted to our table in a dining area that felt both spacious and intimate. Everything was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully arranged. The tables were dressed with cloth napkins, tablecloths, and seat covers, giving it a relaxed yet elegant feel. I especially loved the photos of celebrities who've been involved with the company, tastefully displayed around the room. The service throughout the night was excellent. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. They struck the perfect balance, friendly and warm without being overbearing. We truly felt like more than just guests. We felt part of something meaningful. The evening unfolded in three acts. Act 1: Dinner. The meal far exceeded our expectations. Each course--from the appetizer to the main--was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully plated. I'm not usually a fan of salad, but I really enjoyed the one served. Even my son, who's not easily impressed when it comes to food, not only cleaned his plate, he raved about the meal. Act 2: The Show. Before the performance, the cast encouraged us to sing and dance in our seats, and we did not hold back. Twist and Shout was a high-energy, creative, feel-good experience. The puppetry, lighting, and choreography were brilliantly done, and you could feel the joy radiating from the stage. Watching my son fully engaged made it all the more special. Act 3: Coffee and Dessert. The desserts were decadent--two types of chocolate delights. My son and I went halvesies on both, a perfect sweet ending to the evening. What really sets this place apart is its purpose. You're not just seeing a show; you're supporting something meaningful--an inclusive and empowering space that celebrates ability in a truly unique and beautiful way. Equity, inclusion, and diversity are not just buzzwords here. They're lived values, visible both on stage and behind the scenes in a way that feels authentic and inspiring. If you're looking for something uplifting, meaningful, and different from the usual night out, this is it. It's rare to find something that resonates across generations, but this did. It would be a fantastic option for schools looking to offer students a fun and impactful experience, and it would also make a memorable, purpose-driven setting for a corporate event. Whether you're going with family, colleagues, or students, this place is a gem. The experience itself felt like incredible value for the money.

Three friends went for Tea at the historic Asa Ransom House…read more The food was presented on a beautiful three tiered stand as one would expect at a Tea. The bottom layer held delicate, crust-less, savory finger sandwiches, 4 for each of us, all very tasty. On the second level were delicious scones and there were three spreads offered to enhance their flavor - lemony butter, what may have been clotted cream (not sure), and a fruity jam. On the top tier there were sweet cookies and cakes. The room was decorated with old fashioned country curtains, decorative wall paper, and fancy table cloths - a perfect back drop for this experience. The servers were attentive, prompt and friendly. It was what I expected and it didn't disappoint!

Community Theater at its finest! This was not my first show here and it won't be my last…read more Everything I have seen is fantastic from front to back of house. They have a couple of pre-sale ticket locations but being from out of town I can not access those sites easily. I do wish they had online sales for convenience but there has always been tickets available at the door so I don't stress out about it. Before the show you can peruse through giant scrap books with past shows and other theater information. It is cool to be able to look through a troupes history. Enjoy a snack any time as refreshments are sold before and during intermission. Just follow theater etiquette and try to keep the wrapper rustling to a minimum. Their home is in the Sheridan Parkside Community center which is an old school. The only slight flaw is that the seats are less than ideal due to the age of the facilities, but they are currently raising money to renovate the seating so I expect that issue to be resolved in the coming year. I believe all shows run two weekends at least and they often offer dinner theater on opening night of some shows. The acting is supurb, the sets are stellar and it has always been a great night of entertainment. I encourage you to support Towne Players, support your community and support the arts. It is worth it!

We came in for a Saturday night magic show. We thought it was amazing, but left at intermission…read morebecause we were both incredibly exhausted. From what we saw the show was great, the illusions were incredible and unlike cases where the tricks are obvious, there were some amazing illusions that had us questioning how that was possible. Two magicians performed and it was very cool to watch. My husband was even able to participate before we left. The one downside I would note is that this is a child friendly show, which isn't a problem, except you may be put at a table with young children. When sat we were put next to each other causing a party of five to be across from us, they sat the young children at the end of the table, so they could see understandably, but they sat parents down at the opposite end. The family was very respectful, but if you are not a children person, this may not be the environment for you. Over all great show! I wish I wasn't exhausted and could have stayed for the whole thing!

When we started to think we knew what was happening, he had a unique twist that surprised us. They incorporate animals into the show and we loved that. Overall, 3 adults and 2 teens were captivated. We didn't eat there but feedback from the table was that the food was "meh". We did get some mocktails and were surprised by affordable pricing. We wished there were some desserts to order. Note: If you have a WEGO pass, it's off the blue line by the Howard Johnson's stop. Parking was still advertised as "free" if you had tickets to the show so we parked there earlier in the day. **It is not**. We were told by the attendant that it is $5 cash/$6 card with tickets (still reasonable for the area). Free ended 2 months ago and to take it up inside. I did and they confirmed it ended. I sent an email with the info from their site that says it's free still and they said they would take that down and did offer a refund if I called.

At the beginning of the night the actors walk around the audience and mingle with each table. They then ask different people if they will be willing to participate in the show.

At the end of the night, you are asked to cast your vote on how the crime was committed, who did it, the weapon used and so forth. People who answered correctly were entered into a draw to win fun prizes. It was a great experience and I would definitely go back!

However new owners decided to buy it recently and have done such great things!!!. They have a full bar to purchase alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks; as well as a popcorn and candy stand. The owners and staff that work there are very very nice and knowledgable about ROC history. What I liked most though of ROC cinema was the ambiance. Outside it looks like an old school cinema (which I find fun). However on the inside is all brand new and renovated. The theaters are different too. They are full service so you can order anything you like during the movie and it will be delivered to you all at decent prices unlike the other full service movie theaters. There are long counter type tables in every aisle and the large comfy computer chairs for your seating that are adjustable in any direction. Every 2 seats there is a table light to be on or off depending if you're eating out. Every night of the week they have special themed events as well too. I Plan on checking them out too! I highly recommend ROC Cinema.
