The seats are fairly comfortable, and the sightlines are mostly without issue, BUT they may add stools in the back for extra seating (which will be less comfortable), and anyone sitting house right should be aware that you might lose some of the action. Backstage, well, it's not exactly glamorous, but it's not exactly the Palace Theatre. And there ARE two separate bathrooms. For a small cast, you'll have room to stretch out. A large cast with multiple costumes and props, bless your hearts and good luck. If you see blood on the stage, I might know the owner...

We specifically went to dinner at the speakeasy at the Club Arcadia to hear Frank Sinatra songs…read more The private elevate and secret door held great promise of a different time. Our level of anticipation evaporated almost immediately when we were assaulted by the sound. The singer on stage accompanied by a bass so loud that my bones vibrated. Was the singer good? Couldn't tell because his voice was overpowered by the music. And even though the night was advertised as a Sinatra night....Elvis entertained as much as ole blue eyes. Our group of six were jammed into a booth meant for 4 people against a wall directly in line with the speaker. That means the sound hit us, then the wall, hitting us again as sound travels. We asked if it was possible to lower the volume. No one could talk or communicate during the performance. It was temporarily lowered and then the singer signaled the sound man to up the volume again. How was the food you ask? Three of us had the fish and it was excellent. The Chacuterie tray was well appointed but the salads that followed were bland and the seasonal vegetables consisted of mostly bell peppers with a carrot thrown in. Again..perhaps we would have enjoyed our meal more without the vibrations and incredibly loud music. I downloaded a decibel meter. It said that music in a restaurant should range between 50-65 decibels; my meter averaged 90+ during the show. We spoke with a kind and understandable waiter but not the manager. Management should know from us; this was a one and done. I'm still trying to figure out why other patrons were applauding loudly when you really didn't hear the music. I'd like to say you should try it for the experience but DON'T waste your money to be attacked by sound for 2 hours.

The main dining room with live entertainment is pretty big. The decor is awesome. The food and drinks are basic. And kind of expensive but I think it is worth an experience you don't see anymore.

BFAC hosted the Applause Talent dance competition on March 7, 2020. The venue was too small for…read morethis event. Parking was at 110% capacity with every possible curb utilized. The main seating area was packed. Yet, they were reluctant to open the balcony. To cap it all off, a dumpster behind the facility caught fire. People were sprinting out the doors to move their cars. The fire department came and put it out. But, then the HVAC system started to pull smoke into the auditorium. Everyone reeked of a fire smell. Just a terrible experience. My advice to BFAC - know your limits.

A gem of a theater that deserves more notice! I have seen several productions at Vero Voce and I…read morecan honestly say that they are doing all the right things. As an adult theater - the shows range from safe to edgy, which is great to see as it appeals to a broad audience. I'd like to see more edge but all theaters have to keep the lights on, you know? They attract talented actors and directors. The black box is minimal in all senses of the word, but it never hurts the quality. I'd rather see a bare bones set if the show is done well than big budget designs with terrible direction or acting. As a children's theater - all efforts are made to teach their young performers more than just how to stand and look cute. The shows are fun and less "cheesy" than your average kids' productions. You can tell how much work goes into these shows, both on and off stage. Parking is free, there are plenty of refreshments that aren't priced to break the bank, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Sure, there is room for improvement. But for a theater company just now in the end of their second season, they are running like a well oiled machine. Seasoned professionals are behind this operation, and it shows. Check them out!!!

There's also a charging station for the cool folks driving electric vehicles. This building is very old; bricks and large wooden beams add a vintage vibe, as does the seating. If you've never been to Batavia, it's a cool little place to visit. There are plenty of choices for food and drink before a performance. Also, this building sits along a river and next to a park. Sweet. We recently saw Neil Simon's "Rumors" here. It was very funny, and the actors were AWESOME! My only complaint was their "modernization" of the script - LOTS OF SWEARING. F-bombs do not make the performance funnier, just crude. Albright, you can do better. Tickets were fairly priced at $17 - $22, with an additional $3 per ticket processing fee when purchased online. Bathrooms are currently available on the 1st and 2nd floors, so wait for intermission or you'll miss too much of the performance. Good news, though: the city of Batavia is updating the building. The new 3rd floor bathrooms should be ready in Fall 2022. Yay! Seating was somewhat uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Although rows are not on a slope, every seat in this intimate 88-seat theater likely has a good view of the stage. Candy and soft drinks are available during intermission. Cash only - come prepared. Who can resist peanut butter M&M's? YES, we will definitely go again. Just hoping they discover the vast world of adjectives and skip the F-bombs before the next show.
