Press Pass: Cultural 'gem' shines on Buffalo's East Side

Buffalo Rising
"Far Away," written by Caryl Churchill and directed by Dan Shanahan, is the current production of Torn Space Theater.

Jessica Marinelli of Buffalo Rising is effusive in her praise of Torn Space Theater. "If you haven't been there, you should go." On WBFO's Press Pass, Marinelli highlights Torn Space's recent production of  "Far Away," and the theater company's home, the historic Adam Mickiewicz Library and Dramatic Circle. "It's a gem on the East Side."

Monday - Friday, 6 a.m. - 10 a.m.
