Performances and feedback sessions anchor a three-day gathering at Rome Community Theater.
By David Laguerre | November 9, 2026
The TANYS theater festival returns to Rome Community Theater November 20–22. The Theatre Association of New York State organizes the annual gathering. The 2026 event, called Some Enchanted TANYS!, combines performances from around the state with feedback from festival adjudicators and activities for theater enthusiasts.
The organizer’s current festival page confirms four performance sessions: Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. These are upcoming performances, not results or awards already presented.
What the TANYS theater festival includes
TANYS lists a Friday-night Afterglow gathering, Saturday and Sunday lunches, a Saturday-night banquet and presentation of Roving Adjudicator Merit Awards from the year. A photo booth, silent auction and merchandise are also planned.
The organizer describes its Superpass as an all-festival option. Readers can compare registration choices through the official registration listing and consult the linked festival schedule before choosing sessions. Ticket prices and remaining availability were not independently confirmed for this report.
Check the current deadlines
Some advance offers have already ended. TANYS says festival-shirt preorders are closed, although limited sizes and colors will be available onsite. Its guaranteed $139 hotel group rate required reservations by November 2. That deadline has passed; the organizer says later hotel reservations depend on space and available rates.
The festival gives Mohawk Valley audiences a nearby opportunity to see work by theater companies from across New York and hear feedback on those productions. Attendees should check the current schedule and registration terms before making travel plans.
