The Auditorium Theatre was built in 1928, and has become the area's go-to venue for large Broadway shows. The Auditorium Theatre also holds a variety of other events such as rock, classical, comedy, R&B, dance and children's shows. The Theatre is owned by the Rochester Broadway Theatre League. The venue has always hosted large-scale productions, but over the years it has added dramatic productions, comedy shows and musical concerts to its regular events.
