Shea’s Performing Arts Center Launches “Stage & Story Book Club”

Shea’s Performing Arts Center announces the launch of Shea’s Stage & Story Book Club. This brand-new program invites the community to explore the themes behind the productions that will be featured on the Shea’s Buffalo Theatre stage this season.

Many of Shea’s upcoming performances are rooted in literary work. Shea’s Stage & Story Book Club offers readers, whether solo, with family, or in groups, an opportunity to engage with the stories behind the shows. Throughout the season two children’s books and two adult books based on themes similar to an upcoming show will be featured.

The Buffalo and Erie County Public Library and local bookstores including, Alice Ever After Books, Talking Leaves Books, and the Barnes and Noble Clarence location, are Shea’s Stage & Story Book Club partners.

To kick off the season, Shea’s Stage & Story centers around the themes of belonging, identity, and found family, the foundation of the storyline behind the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical The Outsiders, coming to the Shea’s Buffalo Theatre stage September 17-23.
