Oh dear!!!!!!
There is no signage on the building indicating that it is for sale. The marquee reads “Welcome to Greenport”.
Well what do you know!!!! The theater will stay. More to come!!
Q: WHEN WILL THE THEATER OPEN?
A: Our goal is to open the doors to the community on Dec 26th with the “Holiday Film Series” which will run for three days. Exact movie times will be announced at the beginning of December 2023.
Hopefully they will take up the void left by the virtual closing of the Mattituck Cinemas to film.
hopefully they will add surround sound
This theatre schedule to reopen in December by the North Folk Arts Center. Their website is https://www.northfork-artscenter.org/
First “show is either Christmas day or the 26th. No changes have been made inside yet.
I understand that one of the auditoriums had some water damage.
The small theater in the back but it’s been fixed. That theater will not be used so much for movies in the future. The 3 main theaters will be used for movies and events.
