Season Dedication
American Repertory Theater of WNY dedicates it entire 2025-26 season to company alumni Hugh Davis Jr who's life was tragically cut short this past summer. The company recognizes the need to draw attention to this country's chronic problems of untreated mental illness, military vets who receive poor health care & services, and gun violence. At the end of this season, ART/WNY will take a portion of ticket sales and donate, in the name of Hugh Davis, to organizations addressing these issues.
