ABOUT SGT

Second Generation Theatre’s story all began in 2013 when three University at Buffalo graduates (Kristin Bentley, Kelly Copps, and Arin Lee Dandes) transformed their shared passion into a professional venture. In addition to being a tribute to those who taught them and helped them hone their craft, the name of this non-profit theatre company is also a promise to continue and strengthen Buffalo’s theatre scene for generations to come.  True to their mission of uniting people through the power of performance, Second Generation Theatre is using this year – their tenth anniversary – as an opportunity to celebrate with the entire Western New York Community.

SGT is in residence at the Shea’s Smith Theatre in the heart of downtown Buffalo for the 2023/2024 Season!
