Studio Arena was a Buffalo theater that began as a theater school in the 1920's. Until it's close in 2008, Studio Arena was one of the oldest residential theaters in the United States. Many notable actors performed at the Studio Arena, including Kelsey Grammer, F. Murray Abraham, Julian Moore, Kathy Bates, Ving Rhames, and many others. The Studio Arena Collection is supported by the generosity of Eleanor Murray.
