Gateway Playhouse, Theater venue in Bellport, US.
Gateway Playhouse is a theater building in Bellport, Long Island, set on a wooded property and housing an auditorium of around 500 seats. The grounds also include rehearsal rooms and workshop spaces that support productions made on site.
The theater was founded in the 1950s inside a converted barn and started out with classical stage productions. Over the following decades the building grew and took on its current shape.
The Gateway Playhouse draws audiences from across Suffolk County who come regularly to follow the work of local and touring performers. It is the kind of theater where people often know each other, giving the experience a neighborhood feel.
The property has parking on site, making it easy to arrive by car. Coming a little early gives you time to walk around the grounds before a show.
The property includes an outdoor swimming pool that opens during the warmer months for visitors to use between shows. This combination of stage and poolside is rare for a professional theater in the region.
