UPDATE: Shea’s Gala was to be held on Friday, May 20, 2022 and feature Phillipa Soo and Steven Pasquale. While we attempted to reschedule Phillipa Soo and Steven Pasquale, their upcoming television production schedule made them unavailable before the Fall. But we hope to bring them both back for a future Gala.
In the meantime, we have some VERY exciting news: Tony-Award Winning Actress and original Hamilton “Schuyler sister” of Phillipa Soo, Renée Elise Goldsberry, will now be headlining our event on August 28th!
We know the power of the Arts will come roaring back and provide much needed healing and a shared sense of humanity for all of us in Western New York.
