The Gateway Playhouse is a must-see for anyone in the Bellport area and beyond. Located on the eastern edge of Bellport, it is also known as the Performing Arts Center of Suffolk County. The theater has been a staple of the Long Island theater scene since 1950, starting as a summer stock theater and growing into one of the region's most beloved destinations for plays and musicals. Over its 70-year history, it has entertained audiences with its large ensemble casts and performances by up-and-coming artists.

Bellport Village is an ideal destination for theater lovers. It is a quiet little village with beautiful beaches, peaceful Long Island harbor views, great local eateries, and boutiques, plus an abundance of outdoor activities. Historic sites such as the Pine Street Beach encampment and Shipwreck Beach are just some of the sights to explore. Local craft stores, art galleries, and unique seafood eateries are also available, as well as several kayaking companies where you can rent paddle or rowing boats.

The Gateway Playhouse offers something for everyone throughout the year, from family-friendly productions to modern classics and offbeat improvisation shows. It also features a haunted house during the Halloween season. No matter what you choose to see, you won't be disappointed.
