It seems that the talented performers who roam the floorboards of the New York State Fair’s Empire Theater don’t get as much acclaim as they deserve. IRISH DANCERS 15

The stage is low-profile as State Fair venues go, sequestered within the Art and Home center, seen only by those Fair visitors who look for it.

But it’s not a bad deal, usually free shows in a room with refreshing air conditioning and comfortable seats.

There are musical and dramatic shows, dancers and surprises. This year, hypnotist Marshal Manlove performs there every day at 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

The entire schedule is usually posted outside the theatre as well as being on the Fair website.
