A timeless story of sisters, courage, and becoming who you are meant to be! Buffalo Theatre Ensemble presents Louisa May Alcott's Little Women Nov 12- Dec 13.

Lauren Gunderson's fresh and heartfelt adaptation brings the four March sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy, to the stage as they chase dreams, confront loss, and discover the fierce power of family. Lively and deeply moving, it celebrates imagination, resilience, and the enduring bonds that shape who we become. 💛

MONDAY OCTOBER 12TH AT 7PM. In honor of our 40th season, join us for BTE's Friendraiser- Bring friends who are new to BTE and help us build the next 40 years!

Join us for an evening of sneak peeks from our upcoming season, a candid Q&A with the ensemble, w**e and snacks, and a few surprises.

It's about community and connection. Invite a friend, family member, or neighbor who doesn't know BTE yet but would love us and the shows we produce.

Win Prizes!
As a thank you to our community, we'll be offering a chance to enter to win door prizes (no purchase required). Also, when you bring any guest who's new to BTE, you get an additional entry ticket, and so does your guest! If you bring three new friends, they’ll each get a ticket, and you’ll get three tickets of your own.
We'll be giving away some great prizes.

Come with questions. We're doing a real, unscripted Ask-Me-Anything with the ensemble. Think of what you’ve wanted to know: how a production actually comes together, opening night nerves, theatre bucket lists, all of it. We'll have paper and pens there for you to jot yours down, so start thinking now about what you've always wanted to ask.

We're so excited to kick off this 40th season with you.

In honor of our 40th season, join us for a Friendraiser- Bring friends who are new to BTE and help us build the next 40 years!

BTE is beyond proud of our students shadows who beautifully showcased their hard work and dedication at their open Shadow Rehearsal last night!

BTE's shadow program gives students within the COD Theatre program a chance to shadow a professional actor for an entire rehearsal/run of a show and then perform during an open rehearsal run by our student ASM. A wonderful night filled with dedication, craft, and the talent within the next generation of artists! BRAVO!
