2h agoThe historic Smithtown Theater is up for sale, and measures
are being taken to save it.
The
theater is 90 years old and can be found right in the heart of Smithtown’s Main
Street. What began as an ornate movie house is now filled with historic
artifacts, décor and decades of memories.
“That’s
why we are trying everything we can,” said Joanne Blum, of Smithtown. “We are
trying everything we can to really keep the doors open, keep the shows going
and keep the lights on in Smithtown.”
The theater
was built in 1933 by the designers of Rockefeller Center.
The nonprofit group that runs the Smithtown Performing Arts Center is holding benefit performances this Saturday, Sept. 18.
