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.

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 in preparation 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 private event rental.

Arrangements made in advance are encouraged due to our busy show schedule. Please contact us today to ask about tours or booking a date!
