"The Apron Strings Project" Premiere

At Vail-Leavitt Music Hall, Riverhead

Inspired by a vintage apron collection and written by 22 playwrights and songwriters, "The Apron Strings Project" is ready to premiere at Riverhead's historic Vail-Leavitt Music Hall on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3 at 8 PM and the Sunday matinee on May 4 at 3 PM. This original theatrical production travels an emotional landscape of frustrations, surprises and occasional heartbreaks, sweet recollections of a local farmer's wife in the earliest 1900's, great and colorful matriarchs since passed and the comic memories of a childhood misadventure on a trip to Niagara Falls. The stories of these women, real or imagined, are the heart and soul of "The Apron Strings Project". Tickets are $20 and available now at www.ApronStringsProject.com. Proceeds will benefit The Retreat, Domestic Violence Services.

Join us for concerts, big band dances, comedy, films, children's events, tributes and much more. Food, fun and entertainment await you!

For a complete schedule of events, please visit www.suffolktheater.com, or call the Box Office at 631-727-4343. There's always something to celebrate at The Suffolk Theater!
