Dalro,
I agree with Larry,
Whether or not the theater needed new management ( and from what I saw , Mr. Glassberg put quite a lot into this theater -and please recall that there would not be a theater if it weren’t for his efforts – after all, HE FOUNDED IT) it is still unprofessional negative commentary from this volunteer. It would be enough to simply say – “the theater is going on, and there are new parties involved” That is ALL. The future of this theater depends on the dedication of talented professionals. Not those who slander, and and don’t bother to check the spelling on their posts.
Larry,
I understand the comments! The Islip Pavilion needed new management!!!!!!!! Hopefully now it will succeed!
Very glad to see that the theater is still going on, but VERY disappointing to see that “volunteers” would make such comments. Extremely unprofessional. I hope that any “volunteers” making these comments don’t represent the new management. Would be nice to see this theater go on with positive people.
Does anyone know if there are plays at the Islip Pavilion. I tried to call the number and it was disconnected. ALso is Marcalan Glassberg still involved with the plays?
Does that mean that Marcalan is no longer there? Do you know who is there? Thanks
that’s what the sign says…
I heard that Islip Pavillon is under new management. Is that true?
a theater by anyother name would be a theater…
lets be glad it’s still a theatre.
Recently attended the Spoonful of Blues show at the Pavilion and had a great time! Very talented bands. Met Mr. Glassberg, – he seemed very pleasant and genuine about wanting to create something positive for local residents. Having done start ups before myself, I know how difficult it can be, but really can see the Pavilion having a strong future with what they have planned.
Anything is better than having it torn down, or gutted for retail.
btw – it opened as a triplex the day EI movie theater burned to the ground (which was early am Christmas morning early 80s).

Are they really “reopening” it? Is there a website for it?
Last year, the Islip Triplex Theater was sold to J.J. Nazzaro & Associates, an Islip based business which has chosen to assist the Islip Pavilion Project, an Islip community effort to renovate the existing theater and create a multi-use entertainment facility, The building will house 3 separate not-for-profit 300 seat community theaters which will present movies, live stage shows, comedy and cabaret shows, dinner and a show productions and musical concerts. An on-premises restaurant will serve full food and beverages to all theaters and will serve alcoholic beverages for adult productions. In addition there will be a full educational program for the benefit of the neighboring public school districts. The conversion has already commenced and donors and volunteers are needed. A series of special previews have been scheduled. On Friday, November 23rd and Saturday, November 24th, at 8 pm, there will be a FREE live production of THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER On Friday, December 21st and Saturday, December 22nd, there will be a FREE live production of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET. All seating will be on a first come, first served basis. For further information, contact Marcalan Glassberg, the Executive Director of the new ISLIP PAVILION, at 631-224-SHOW.

I didn’t put two and two together….I remember seeing photos of the Patchogue Plaza Theater on your website also…Great stuff. I heard the Plaza is finally going to be put out of it’s misery soon.
I have hosted the pictures on my site and my own message board lioddities.com. What I meant is it would be nice if they could be added here so that it shows up at the top, without having to click a link to see it. This site is wonderful though, so I am not complaining about this minor detail.
Hey, thanks for the offer of help though. :)
LI Oddities… You can easily sign up for a free photo-hosting site on the internet such as photobucket.com or webshots.com. Once you’ve uploaded your photos there, you can link to them here with a simple cut and paste into your comments. I’ve posted scores of images on CT using that method.
If you consider yourself computer-challenged, I’d be very happy to host your photos on my photobucket account and post them here for you… But it really is a very simple process to do yourself. You can click on my email address from my profile page if you’d like to contact me.
I have some pictures of this theater I took just before it closed. I wish the picture post feature still worked.
thanks john!
There will be a public hearing on the future of the Islip Theater on Sept 18th. The announcement should be in the newspaper. I was told by someone who would know that the theater will not be demolished, but be converted to a “multi-use” facility. I won’t make it to the hearing, I hope someone will and report here.
i worked there after it was loews from ‘02 till closing weekend….its very saddening to see it go..i grew up in that town and spent my childhood seeing movies there…i knew someone who was interested, but that place needed a million or more of work to be done…just the roof alone and the giant underground stream that ran through the damn place..it was a disaster…wish we could have done somthing, that place has so much potential.
