A Message from our friends at the Suffolk Theater...

 

DINE with us. WINE with us. Be ENTERTAINED!

After many years, and following a fabulous and extensive reno-restoration, the historic SUFFOLK THEATER is open! On With The Shows! The theater first opened in 1933 to great acclaim, and now 80 years later, downtown Riverhead is again hearing thunderous applause on Main Street, as this one-of-a-kind landmark Art Deco theater has been revived as a flexible use space with two Deco bars, fully re-imagined as a cabaret/dinner theater/event space. 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!
