Name a Seat at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre! Whether it’s to honor a family member or friend, or just show that your family or company supports Shea’s, all individuals and corporations are invited to place a name on a commemorative brass plate that will adhere to a seat’s arm for the life of the seat.
Double your impact for Shea’s Performing Arts Center through your (or your spouse’s) corporate matching gift program. Many employers will match donations made by their employees to nonprofit organizations and yours could be one of them!
