Visitor Experience: In 2018, Road Less Traveled Productions (RLTP) built its premiere, live and intimate theater venue in downtown Buffalo. In February 2023, the company expanded its lobby three-fold into a full-scale bohemian mid-century modern style cocktail lounge serving up featured cocktails, beer, wine and spirits prior-to and post performances. While in the building, you will see its newly designed cocktail lounge as well as a tour of inside the theater space to see the set of its current show THE Da Vinci Code (running through October 18). When not in use by RLTP, the lobby and theater space is available for rent for private parties, happy hours and events.

Building Description: Road Less Traveled Theater resides in the former Baker Shoes building which sat vacant for decades until the theater was built in 2018. The theater accommodates 98 guests per performance, allowing for a true intimate theatergoing experience. When the theater was built, it was an empty shell of only brick walls and the front door entrance and marquee. All of what you see today within the four exterior walls have been redesigned and built by Road Less Traveled Productions. In 2023, RLTP rebuilt and tripled the size of its small lobby entrance into a full mid-century modern bohemian style cocktail lounge. Since building its brand-new theater, the building welcomes 8,000-10,000 theatergoing patrons annually. This will be RLTP’s 23rd season in downtown Buffalo NY.
