Shea's Performing Arts Center is a non-profit presenting theatre company devoted to providing enriching and innovative theatrical experiences to our community all while restoring and maintaining the historic Shea's Buffalo Theatre. As a presenting theatre company, we only retain a portion of ticket sales which makes our community of supporters critical to continuing and growing our impact.
As we approach Shea’s Centennial Celebration in 2026, we are embarking on the most ambitious campaign in our history: Elevate Shea’s – The Next Century of Wonder.
Giving to our annual fund allows us to provide the community with amazing opportunities, fantastical experiences, and a spectacular center of performing arts.
For nearly 100 years, patrons of Shea's Buffalo have enjoyed the sounds of The Mighty Wurlitzer organ. Shea's is in the middle of a campaign to fully restore this historic instrument by our 100th Anniversary so we can continue the organ's legacy for future generations.
Enriching lives and strengthening communities through the power of the arts.
