Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts
71 East Main Street, Patchogue, NY 11772 11050
Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts (PTPA) is a nonprofit arts organization that enriches, educates, and entertains diverse audiences by showcasing a wide range of performances—from music and dance to theatrical productions. As a cultural anchor on Long Island, PTPA collaborates with local organizations and promotes educational opportunities for the region. Since its restoration in the late 1990s, the historic 1920s venue has been transformed into a state-of-the-art theater, preserving original architectural details while offering world-class sound, lighting, and staging. With a 1,200-seat Main House and a versatile art deco lobby that hosts smaller events like Live in the Lobby and Library in the Lobby, PTPA provides a dynamic home for professional performances, community events, and new creative works. The theatre’s work is supported by a dedicated team of staff, a Board of Directors, and more than 90 volunteers
