Shea’s Performing Arts Center (Shea’s PAC) is a campus of three theaters in downtown Buffalo comprised of Shea’s Smith Theatre, Shea’s 710 Theatre, and the historic crown jewel of the Buffalo Theatre District, Shea’s Buffalo Theatre. From touring Broadway to international collaborations and local theatre productions, these venues boast varying styles of performing arts, but all of our shows are sure to please the audiences that attend.

• We want our patrons to have the full Shea’s experience, from Main Street to your seat. Now, you can see Your Name in Lights! Before our Broadway shows, you have your name featured on the Shea’s marquee as part of our welcome message.
• We offer a coat check right by the Main Street entrance, with a $1.00 donation (please note that fur coats will not be accepted). You can also inquire here about borrowing booster seats for young children, or using Assisted Listening Devices – both t-coil induction loops and headphones are provided with this service, free of charge!

Our Shea’s Spotlight Committee also runs the Champagne Table during all Broadway performances as part of their volunteer fund-raising efforts to support Shea’s as a National Historic Site. Get a glass to enjoy before your show! Shea’s reserves the right to refuse service of alcoholic beverages to any guest at any time for any reason, in accordance with New York State Liquor Law.
• Be part of our Seat Plaque Campaign! With a donation to Shea’s Performing Arts Center, your name will be placed on a commemorative brass plate that will adhere to a seat’s arm for the life of the seat in our theater.

When the theater is not occupied by a show (a “dark day”), Shea’s Buffalo Theatre is often reserved for private events or is already being prepared for the next production! However, that doesn’t mean our doors are closed…aside from our regular Box Office hours, the theater also offers Historic Tours and is available as a venue for rental.

Since we have to work around our busy show schedule, arrangements must be made in advance. Please contact us today to ask about tours or booking a date!
