From the 1,000-seat theater at the Staller Center to smaller, more intimate regional playhouses, the performing arts are a vital part of life in Suffolk County. Here you will find ample opportunities to be entertained by stars with international reputations, traveling road show companies that rival the best of Broadway, and amateur production companies that showcase our local talent. Orchestras, ballet and dance companies and chamber ensembles maintain active schedules; rock and roll groups and contemporary artists appear regularly on our many stages. We even have an annual summer Shakespeare festival held out doors in the grand courtyard of the Vanderbilt Museum. You will never need to look far to enjoy world-class performances in Suffolk County.
