We commissioned some amazing WNY writers to create a series of short monologues all about Buffalo here and now. Then, together with Full Circle Studios, we filmed on location across the region.
CURRENTS: 716 is made up of many stories woven into one night of theatre. With your ticket purchase for any night, you will see them all!
THIS PRODUCTION IS CLOSED. It was Alleyway's 155th production and ran from September 12-26, 2020.
In association with Full Circle Studios, we filmed on location across WNY throughout the month of August.
