FirstLook Buffalo Theatre Company presents The AI At Delphi, a  new play by Bella Poynton, running April 26 to May 19, 2024 at Canterbury Woods Performing Arts Center.

Something wonderful has taken to the stage at Buffalo ‘s Irish Classical Theatre, as Arthur Miller’s THE PRICE is being presented in a near perfect production. This seldom produced play may sound somewhat stilted in it’s formality of language, but the story continues to be captivating, all these years after it’s 1968 Broadway premiere.

Alleyway Theatre concludes its season with the comedy DEATH OF A STREETCAR NAMED VIRGINIA WOOLF by Tim Sniffen.

Guilty as charged. I openly admit I really enjoy the ABBA musical, MAMMA MIA! There is a time and place for all kinds of entertainment, and the birth of the jukebox musical can almost certainly be attributed to kind of show MAMMA MIA has become. Now 25 years after it's opening, the national tour that is playing at Shea's Buffalo this week has audiences happily enraptured with a musical comedy that serves solely to entertain. And it most certainly succeeds.

Casting has been announced and tickets are on sale for Starring Buffalo's TITANIC, May 31 - June 1 at Shea's 710 Theatre in downtown Buffalo. Broadway's Diane Phelan (Into the Woods), Eric Anthony Lopez (Phantom of the Opera) and Jonathan Young (Pretty Woman - Tour) and Buffalo-based recording artist Jay Dref (Sarah Brightman's 'A Christmas Symphony') lead the cast.

A breakdown of  union labor relations, abuse in the workplace and  demands for higher wages surely doesn't sound like the stuff of musical comedy. Unless you're speaking of the classic 1954 musical THE PAJAMA GAME, now playing at the Lancaster Opera House. 

Eavesdropping, snooping or just morbid curiosity seemed to be the scene set in Harold Pinter's play BETRAYAL now playing in a riveting production at Buffalo's Irish Classical Theatre. The playgoer sits on the sidelines, witnessing a deeply personal story of three  broken people, best kept behind closed doors.

It's not often that  a horror story or the supernatural takes to the stage, so when a comedy turns dark, you know you're in for a night of the unknown. Ike Holter's play THE LIGHT FANTASTIC is full of surprises, twists and turns that kept the opening night audience engrossed in Road Less Traveled Productions latest production.

First Look Buffalo Theatre Company will continue their 2023-24 season at the all-new Canterbury Woods Performing Arts Center in Williamsville, with FAUCI and KRAMER, a new play, by Drew Fornarola.

Funny. In 1964 a newcomer named Barbra Streisand was the third or fourth choice  to take on the role of Fanny Brice in the new Jule Styne musical FUNNY GIRL. The result catapulted a gawky Jewish girl from Brooklyn to superstar status. And the musical has never been revived again on Broadway.

FAUCI AND KRAMER, a new play by Drew Fornarola, opens Feb 23rd at Canterbury Woods Performing Arts Center. Join us for this powerful production by First Look Buffalo Theatre Company.

When the soul of post-punk vinyl finds the heart of modern stage, a spiritus mundi is born. The one-acts showcase tribute to The Clash entitled “London Calling” transports the condensed emotions found in song and expands them into a wider human narrative found on stage. Not necessarily reinventing the wheel but taking it down a feckin' fun path.

MUSICALFARE THEATRE will present the regional premiere of BEAUTIFUL: THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL, running from February 21st to March 24th. Learn more about the production here!
