Since the fall of 2011, The Plaza has been providing quality mainstream and independent films to Long Island's South Shore community. It started as a small volunteer group, showing films in the upstairs loft of the Brick House Brewery on Main Street, and grew into a fully equipped state-of-the-art digital cinema located on the ground floor of the Art Space Apartments complex on Terry Street, one block south of Main Street. Besides showing world-class films with guest speakers, filmed operas, ballets and plays,
The Plaza also provides a space for live events including locally curated music series and stand-up comedy. As a Media Arts Center, The Plaza offers classes in animation and filmmaking as well as media literacy.
The Plaza is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) community-supported cultural organization. Its mission is to celebrate the power and magic of film as an art form and as a medium for multicultural exchange and social responsibility.
