| Coming Soon to a Stage Near You... |
There will soon be an addition to the Freeport performing arts scene! The Freeport Factory Stage, located at 2 Depot Street (formerly VENUE), will become a year-round theater for local performing arts organizations to present everything from plays and musicals to cabaret nights, Broadway show tunes and children's theater events. The space will open in late April and will accomodate approximately 125 people at each performance. Several local organizations have already expressed an interest in producing their work in the new space, and we look forward to offering a variety of theatrical entertainment for residents and visitors!
