As another summer comes to a close, the lights are ready to go up again in Buffalo.

LIFESTYLE: Local theater groups look to stay in the black amidst economic blues
There’s nothing a performer likes more than to play before a full house.

THEATER: 'The Underpants' revealed at NU
When comedian Steve Martin decided to adapt the play “The Underpants,” he said it was because the plot was so simple.

It was a night for Shea’s season ticket holders March 12, as the theater announced its 2009-10 M&T Bank Broadway Series schedule.

THEATER: Feder breathes life into “Nutcracker” on NFHS stage
“These are the giant forks and spoons that the gingerbreads carry. Aren’t they cute?”
Beverley Ann Feder holds up a giant-sized Styrofoam eating utensils covered in silver sparkles. She is guiding a visitor through a storage room that holds many of the props from her ballet, “The Nutcracker” which she has produced for the last 31 years for the Greater Niagara Ballet Company.
