The new home of the Batavia Players, Main Street 56 Theater at City Centre has been a long time in coming, but things are now pointing to a Fall opening in 2023. Patrick Burk, President, Executive & Artistic Director for Batavia Players provided a tour of the new theatre. (Pictures below)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since moving from the Harvester several years ago, the Batavia Players have had several temporary homes at City Centre. They are currently located in the center of the concourse and are getting ready for several performances of “Almost, Maine” this weekend.

The new space is 17,000 square feet and seats 160-200 people for performances. Burk says 30-40 Batavia Players members have been volunteering over the past two years with painting, cleaning, finishing walls, floor refinishing and demolition. The space was previously a doctor’s imaging center and an urgent care before Batavia Players moved in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
