Buffalo Quickies Tickets

Buffalo Quickies is a cornerstone of Buffalo’s contemporary theatre scene, part of Alleyway Theatre’s mission to premiere new work through a dynamic, festival-driven format. Since the festival’s early editions in the 1990s, Buffalo Quickies has delivered bold, bite-sized theatre experiences—often eight short plays per edition—featuring world premieres, local voices, and a mix of comedy, drama, and satire. Performances unfold in Alleyway’s main space and adjacent storefront venues along Main Street, creating an intimate, walkable experience for audiences.

Across more than 25 years, the Buffalo Quickies festival has evolved while staying true to its roots: showcasing fresh writing, musical shorts, and innovative staging.
