Our Story: From Silent Films to Stunning Live Shows
The story of The Showplace Theater begins in 1911, when the golden age of silent films was sweeping the country. On Grant Street, a brand-new theater—first known as the Try-It and later renamed the Unity Theatre—quickly became the heartbeat of the Black Rock neighborhood. Locals packed the seats to catch the latest films and experience entertainment in a way that was nothing short of magical.
Today, The Showplace Theater blends its rich legacy with modern sound, lighting, and production, continuing to offer unforgettable performances in an intimate historic setting. It’s more than a venue—it’s a living piece of Buffalo’s arts and music history.
