A Message from our friends at the Suffolk Theater...
The Historic Suffolk Theater is Open!!
After many years of hard work,  the Suffolk Theater in downtown Riverhead has finally re-opened. The theater first opened in 1933 with great fanfare, and now in 2013 ... eighty years later ... there's even more excitement as this beautiful art-deco cinema has been restored to a cabaret style performing arts center. The Suffolk Theater is on Main Street. And the beautiful electronic marquee lights up downtown Riverhead, serving as a beacon for first class entertainment.
There are 30 days of shows in March. Almost every night in March has something exciting and interesting and wonderful to experience. This is nightclub style theater.
For the complete schedule of concerts, movies, musical and theatrical events check out suffolktheater.com.
