Congratulations to our 2019-20 Artie Award Nominees. James Cichocki - Actor in a Play for Bright Colors and Bold Patterns Ricky Needham - Supporting Actor in a Play for The Boys Upstairs Carly Weiser - Direction of a Play for Bright Colors and Bold Patterns

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and collaborator - Lorna C. Hill - founder of Ujima and an absolute legend of Buffalo Theater.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Larry Kramer - an indelible longtime advocate for our communities. Seven years ago, we presented his landmark play "The Normal Heart" - a story based in his own experience pushing forward for answers, actions, and accountability in the midst of a major health crisis, the early days of HIV/AIDS. "To gay people everywhere, whom I love so dearly, The Normal Heart is our history. I could not have written it had not so many needlessly died. Learn from it and carry on the fight. Let them know that we are a very special people - an exceptional people - and that our day will come." - Larry Kramer

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend Terrence McNally - the playwright who brought us "Love! Valour! Compassion!", "Some Men", "It's Only A Play!", and "Mothers & Sons". It was our great honor in April 2016 to host Terrence for a reading of scenes from his work and a spirited discussion of his career - celebrating the publication of his "Selected Works".

Tonight, we honor the memory of our friend Mary Loftus. Sunday February 23. 6pm. Alleyway Theatre.

Please join in sharing the memory of our friend Mary Loftus on Sunday February 23 at 6pm. Alleyway Theatre.

A memorial event - celebrating the life of Mary Loftus and her career in the theater - will be held on Sunday, February 23, 2020 at 6 p.m. at the Alleyway Theatre.

The Theatrical Life of Mary Loftus. July 28, 1935 - January 23, 2020
