Albany is where the Capital Region's biggest stages sit side by side: Capital Repertory Theatre downtown, the Palace Theatre, and The Egg at the Empire State Plaza, with the performing arts center at UAlbany and MVP Arena for the large touring shows.

Smaller rooms fill in between, including Albany Barn, an arts incubator, and community companies like Albany Civic Theater. Trains stop at Albany-Rensselaer across the river, and Troy, Cohoes and Schenectady are a short drive away if the show you want is somewhere else.
