O'Connell & Company was founded in 1995 by Buffalo award-winning actress Mary Kate O'Connell. The Company was in residence at its own theatre, the Cabaret in the Square in Snyder, N.Y. until June 2008. During this time, O'Connell & Company grew into one of WNY's most respected resident theatres. Performances have included: "Baby", "Nunsense", "Closer Than Ever", "Passion", "We're Still Hot", "Wild Women Don't Get the Blues", "Musical of Musicals-The Musical", "Buffalo ZINGS", and the wonderfully popular O'Connell & Company original, "DIVA by DIVA: A Celebration of Women!" which is now in its 10th year.

On June 5, 2009 O'Connell & Company Productions announced an innovative arts partnership with Erie Community College North Campus that will expand performing arts opportunities for both the WNY community and the growing ECC community. O'Connell & Company will produce a full season of plays, musicals and special events on the ECC campus and will continue its weekly performances of "DIVA by DIVA: A Celebration of Women!"
