Shea’s Performing Arts Center and FeedMore WNY are partnering to fight hunger across the community through the “Wicked For Good” food drive, inspired by the hit Broadway musical sensation “Wicked.”
Theater patrons and the community are invited to bring nonperishable food items to donate at collection bins located at the Shea’s box office (650 Main St., Buffalo) and at Shea’s Buffalo Theatre entrances during all performances of “Wicked,” which is on the stage at Shea’s for a three-week engagement running Nov. 12-30.
The “For Good” food drive is named for the iconic duet sung by Elphaba and Glinda in “Wicked,” celebrating the lasting power of kindness and friendship. This season, Shea’s and FeedMore WNY invite the “City of Good Neighbors” to work a little magic of their own, spreading joy and kindness by donating to the food drive.
FeedMore WNY encourages donations of healthy, shelf-stable items including:
√ Cereal and boxed stuffing mix
√ Peanut or other nut butters
√ Canned tuna, chicken, soups, stews and chili
√ Canned fruits and vegetables (low-sodium/low-sugar preferred)
√ Beans (canned or dried)
√ Pasta, rice, and spaghetti sauce
√ Instant potatoes, broth or stock, and boxed mac & cheese
√ Baby food, formula and diapers
√ Holiday favorites: applesauce, cranberry sauce, gravy, and cornbread or muffin mix
Great tickets to “Wicked” are still available at Shea’s box office in downtown Buffalo or through the Shea’s website at https://www.sheas.org/performances/wicked. Groups requesting 10 or more tickets can contact Mary Oshei at 716-829-1153 or moshei@sheas.org.
