Along with the Regent this is one of two closed up theatres along West Main Street in Bay Shore. It was gutted and currently houses a YMCA.

Jeff, please email me your newly scanned photos, I’d like to add them to my collection of Bay Shore/Brightwaters photos on Webshots. It’s: Take out the trash!
Thank you!!
I would love to see any more photos you have of this old place. Seeing the couple so far really makes me wish it could’ve been saved as a theater and the YMCA had found someplace else. You can email them to me at .
This place was amazing.
Jeana: I attempted to send BST pics to you but your email address apparently is not working. . Te return email stated there was a permanent fatal error. JEFF
Hi Jeff:
You have to “take out the trash”, to have the correct email address!!
The Regent was mentioned in the caption under the picture. In Newsday Sun Feb 12, 2012 there is a picture of Main street from the 1930s showing the Regent marquis. One during the day and one at night. I’ll try to get them posted.
I saw that too and was wondering how to access them for a link. Going to go to the exhibit and see any other pix which Newsday didn’t print of the theatres in town. Didn’t realize the Regent had a vertical. Never did from the time I first saw it in the 1950s.
Question, PragmaticGuy. Since you are discussing the Regent and trying to post the photos from Newsday why are you doing it on the Bay Shore site rather than the Regent (Boulton Center for the Performing Arts)?
My dad had a job working in the projection booth there for only three months back in the early 1940’s.
George, are you the George I know from Cabaret?
