The Buffalo Theatre District in downtown Buffalo, New York is the center of Buffalo's theater scene[1][2][3][4] that draws Broadway shows that are in preview stage or on tour[1] and is bounded roughly by Washington, Tupper, Pearl and Chippewa Streets. Architect and Professor Alfred Price worked on a master plan for the Buffalo Theatre District.[5]
In 1980, in accordance with the area's land development terms, 25 percent of the net profits from District were returned to a Buffalo nonprofit corporation for further development of the District.[6][7]
From the late 1970s through 2004, the District received about $60 million from government to restore it and finance development.[8] The district contains a number of theaters, including:
- Alleyway Theatre
- Buffalo United Artists
- Irish Classical Theatre Company
- Road Less Traveled Theatre
- Shea's Performing Arts Center
- 710 Main Street Theatre
