SOUTHAMPTON, NY, JUNE 9, 2005 — Flynn + Stott Architects, P.C. of Southampton, New York, announced today that they have been retained by Castle Restoration and Construction of Long Island City to finalize plans for the interior alterations of Suffolk Theater and to design a 4,000 square foot addition.Robert Castaldi, president of Castle Restoration and Construction, purchased the Suffolk Theater in January of this year from the Town of Riverhead. Although the building most recently operated as a movie theater, Mr. Castaldi plans to focus on traditional performing arts such as jazz shows, and musical and comedy productions, and keep only one screen for viewing films. The one story addition planned for the back of the structure will house critical support space such as make-up and dressing rooms, costume storage and a workshop for constructing sets.
Richard F. Stott, AIA, owner and president of Flynn+Stott Architects, is enthusiastic about the project. “With Castle’s extensive experience rehabilitating historic properties, it is a pleasure working with Mr. Castaldi and his staff. In addition to making this space state-of-the-art and functional, we are all committed to preserving the integrity of the original art deco style that is the hallmark of this beautiful old building,†said Mr. Stott.The theater is expected to be completed and open to the public in spring 2006, but plans are already in the works for a new addition, adding three more stories to accomodate corporate, private and community functions. Renovations to the existing space include construction of a 30-foot stage, installation of new seating and a sound system, replacing plumbing, electrical, heating and air-conditioning systems, and the conversion of the balcony seating area to private dining boxes where guests can enjoy dinner with the show.
