How many things have you heard “I miss [insert venue name here]”? How many times has someone come along and made that dream come true? Personally, this is the first time I’ve seen a wonderful new owner bring every single thing to the table to make an old venue that so many people have great memories at into a perfect & beautiful new place for music! If you’ve been under a rock, Showplace Theater has officially been declared as reopen and celebrated with their first event on Halloween which went over beautifully. Now it’s time to take things back to their roots with some good ol fashioned Local Rock Bands who are poised to take the new stage at this iconic Buffalo location! But don’t forget, this isn’t the Showplace Theater you may remember. Joe Roxbury has gutted everything and replaced it with modern furnishings. Yes, that means the floor is no longer slanted, the seats are gone, there’s no random pipes, or sketchy looking anything. This is Showplace for a new generation, and we’re all really excited to see someone spending this much time and money on our local music scene! Doors open back up at Showplace at 8 p.m. this Saturday, November 26th and there’s only a $5.00 cover! Show you support towards this great new/old venue and its hard working new owner who is quickly filling the calendar with much more awesome events to come!
