Today, Shea’s Performing Arts Center comprises three modern theatres in the heart of the Buffalo Theatre District, bringing the best of live performances through touring productions and local collaborations to Western New York. Shea’s Buffalo Theatre is the historic crown jewel of the Performing Arts Center and is one of the top touring theatres in the country, with over 3,000 seats. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1975. Shea’s 710 Theatre is the latest space to be added to the campus.

Shea’s Smith Theatre is a 200-seat black box theatre that hosts Off-Broadway productions, comedy, and collaborative productions with local theatre companies. Shea’s Performing Arts Center is committed to keeping true to the history of Shea’s Buffalo Theatre and to the future of the Western New York region, bringing the best of Broadway theatre and beyond to Buffalo, NY.
