Three Cheers for Local Theatre

My husband and I love live entertainment.  Trips to NYC and Chicago are always highlighted with some off Broadway type plays or obscure productions.  I was thrilled to find out that Buffalo, although not as amazing as NYC, can pretty much stand tall in the local theatre space.

We bought tickets to see Evil Dead at the Alt Theatre.  First of all it is a hysterical production ( albeit a bit vulgar).  The stage and effects were terrific, the music right up there and the acting worked.  We would never have chosen this play out of town, but were fortunate to see it here in Buffalo and tickets were only $25!

The theatre was small but full of effort.  They even had chips and salsa available for hungry guests, with beer and wine for a nominal fee.  And of course the ever loving production t-shirt.  This company really works for the audience.


I highly recommend the stroll into local theatre.  The productions are entertaining and what better way to enjoy yourself cheaply on a Friday night, while supporting the arts community of Buffalo.
