The Greenport Opera House was originally on this site, which was destroyed by a hurricane in 1938. The Greenport Theatre was built and opened in 1939.
Currently the theater has four screens, and is located in the heart of town at Front Street and Third Street.

Figuring the size of most early eastern Suffolk County theatres, 1,000 is large. Except for the original Southampton and the Suffolk you’re talking 200, 300, 400.
Just renewing the link for this theater.
I have enjoyed this theater very much this summer, where I visit it from my wife’s mother’s place in Shelter Island. It is now open every day during the tourist season, as opposed to serving the public only 4-5 days of the week in previous years. They have also expanded the cafe, which serves both movie patrons and general customers, which should help generate additional revenue.(It’s like a less upscale version of what the Cinemart has produced in Forest Hills.) Attendance seems to be pretty healthy.
In short, the Greenport is doing very well – and best of luck to it!
The Greenport actually closed up shop for the season just after Labor Day. Given the number of September events scheduled in Greenport, I am surprised that the theater closed so soon. Still, the Greenport did very fine business this summer. Look forward to a great 2010!
Just framed a pen and ink drawing of the GREENPORT THEATER I bought in 1989 .It took 20 years but it looks great. lol
I’m surprised they closed early too. At least they have the Cafe rented again. Too bad they won’t upgrade the sound in the theaters there.
Was in Greenport on a bike trip, Saturday evening into Sunday morning. Cool place. Nice facade, strains your neck to get a full shot with marquee since it’s a narrow street. The MetroEast Cafe is open too. Nice place.
The old place has appeared to be having another good season this year. The cafe is really an asset.
The vertical is dramatic, the “V” signage is pathetic. Before they redid the place the signage was flat, long and narrow across the front of the building. The name was spelled out in single, white incandescent lights, also pathetic.
From the 1940s a view of the Greenport Theatre on Long Island New York.
