Shea’s spotlight committee invites the community to help preserve the past, support the present, and build the future of Shea’s Buffalo Theatre by picking up Weidner’s Barbeque dinners between 3-7 p.m. Wednesday, April 30.

All dinners are conveniently available via drive-thru pickup directly behind Shea’s Buffalo Theatre at 439 Pearl St., Buffalo. Each meal includes a half chicken, butter spuds, coleslaw, and a roll with butter, prepared by longtime Western New York barbecue master Weidner BBQ.

Shea’s spotlight committee is led by and comprised of committed volunteers whose activities help to preserve, assist and promote Shea’s Buffalo Theatre. In addition to the barbecue, the spotlight committee members volunteer at concession, champagne, player piano, and coat check stations at Shea’s performances. The spotlight committee hosts other fundraising events. Additional volunteers are always welcome. Sign up at www.sheas.org/volunteer-program.

To-go dinners are currently available for prepurchase for $16 through the Shea’s website, www.sheas.org/performances/weidner-bbq. Dinners can also be purchased for $19 on April 30. All proceeds benefit volunteer efforts to support Shea’s Buffalo Theatre, which will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026.
