The Unsinkable Manny Fried
Manny Fried, Buffalo Theatre Icon
Fredonia NY – Manny Fried is a local Buffalo theatre legend.There isn’t anyone in the theatre community who doesn’t love him and think the world of him. His story is colorful, passionate, and quintessentially Buffalonian. I’ve been fortunate to work with him on several occasions in shows over the years. At 96 years old, he remains for all of us quite an inspiration.
Recently the Buffalo News had a feature on him as Manny continues to fight off some heart failure that has been plaguing him of late. I thought readers of this space might enjoy this look into the life of someone deeply committed to the art of theatre, the average working man, and his community.
