Hey! Is that tax refund check burning a hole in your pocket and you want to buy something nice for yourself but maybe also give a little to a worthy cause? Well, look no further! AftA is within months of opening, and we're raising money to cover some of the startup costs so that we can outfit the space into a fully equipped theater. We've already got several companies chomping at the bit to schedule a slot in the upcoming 2022-2023 theater season! Please consider supporting the arts and restoring a historic church in downtown Buffalo. -From the AftA Board: A Peter Snodgrass, Dennis Patrone, Carima El-Behairy, Thomas J Snodgrass, James Cichocki, Anthony Alcocer, Cathy Dempesy-Sims, Melinda Capeles, Michael Conroe, Michele Agosto, and Kevin Crowley.
