Gateway Playhouse

The Performing Arts Center of Suffolk County is one of only three professional theaters on Long Island, and remains the oldest of the three. The modern facility at Bellport, is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped rustic exterior creating a unique theater-going experience that is unparalleled on Long Island. The history and evolution of the Playhouse could be a movie in the making, with its many transitions, variety of productions, and a long list of colorful characters from on stage and off. It would be a movie about how three generations of a single family have fashioned what was once a farm on eastern Long Island into one of the top ten summer theaters in the nation.
