The Focus Theater

The Focus Theater is once again excited to be part of the Rochester Fringe Festival. Located on the third floor in the historic downtown Sibley Building, our theater is Rochester’s most exciting performance space. This intimate, 90-seat venue allows artists to easily connect with the audience. It is perfect for a variety of performance genres from standup to Improv, to one-person shows to music, and everything in between. The Focus Theater is a modern performance venue nestled within an elegant and exciting setting. It offers a complete box office and lobby area, comfortable theater-style seating, and plenty of on-street and ramp parking in the St. Joseph and Mortimer Street parking garages with direct access into the building.
