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.
From concessions and ushering to restoration, be part of a large family that loves what you love.
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.
