Our Mission
Founded by Dan Shanahan and Melissa Meola, Torn Space Theater aims to create original, aesthetically innovative performances; to introduce internationally-renowned, contemporary performance to Western New York and the Buffalo-Niagara Region.
Support Torn Space
For us to continue presenting theater that otherwise would not be produced in the WNY area and to continue developing original works for the stage, we greatly encourage you to become a supporting member of Torn Space. And, thanks to all of our current supporters.
From the Critics
“That such an innovative, imaginative and daring company is situated in Buffalo should make the city a place of pilgrimage for those hungry for a theater that invites you to bring your intellect as well as your emotions with you to a show.”
–Brian Johnston
