Dear Friends of BTE,

“Theater is the art form of the present: it exists only in the moment, and then it’s gone.”
– Sarah Ruhl

Welcome to Buffalo Theatre Ensemble’s 39th Anniversary Season! We are proud to
continue our mission of Giving Stories Life by offering productions that embrace the
humor, heart, and humanity of everyday life. This season, we invite you to experience
stories of second chances and unexpected love, dizzying misunderstandings and comic
chaos, and one woman’s poetic journey through a lifetime of birthdays. Each production
reminds us of the beauty found in connection and the joy of sharing the present
moment together.

Whether you are a longtime subscriber or joining our extended family for the first time,
we are so glad you will be with us this season. Thank you for being part of the moment!
We cannot wait to welcome you to the theater.

Sincerely,
The Ensemble
