We understand that this is only the beginning and we promise to continue to find ways to be a better ally for BIPOC artists, their voices, and equitable representation. We will strive to support people of color onstage and off. And we will continue to expand the conversation and dialogue about racism, equality, justice, and allyship, as well as continue to employ, collaborate with and support artists in our BIPOC community.
We believe the important thing is to continue to move towards a more mindful and inclusive society. O’Connell & Company has made a donation to embracerace.org, an online community that provides information, resources, and community for parents, educators, and other adults wanting to raise kids who are thoughtful, informed, and brave about race.
About Our Theatre
Now celebrating its 25th season, O’Connell & Company has enriched thousands of Western New York lives by producing a variety of musicals, plays, popular classics, regional premieres, and original works with a special focus on gender parity in the arts.
The Theatre School at O’Connell & Company will formally launch in the Spring of 2020 and will produce year-round workshops, camps, classes and more for youth, adults, and seniors of all levels and experience.
The 2017-2018 lineup of shows has been announced. As a flex-pass holder for two seasons with high school friends…O’Connell & Co. shows do not disappoint! Looking forward to another season of great local theatre at reasonable prices at a convenient location.

I’ll be honest: “Breast in Show” is a challenging show to watch. It’s poignant. It’s terrifying. If you’ve lost someone to cancer, it brings up things that you can’t watch (which is why I had to leave early). I can’t imagine the impact on cancer survivor or those who are powering through. All that being said, see it. Especially if you’ve never been touched by cancer before. Your eyes will open. You won’t be the same. This is the most important reason to support local theatre

We attended The Betsy Carmichael show Saturday evening and had a wonderful time! The cast was terrific and we are hooked on Betsy! The show was funny and fun! We loved the interaction. This was our first time at an O’Connell & Co. performance but we are planning on seeing many more. If Betsy decides to return again in the future, do yourselves a favor, DEARS, don’t miss her!
