About Us:

Our modern facility surrounded by a beautifully landscaped rustic exterior, creates a unique theater going experience; unparalleled on Long Island. The history and evolution of the Playhouse could be a movie in the making, with its many transitions, variety in productions, a long list of colorful characters from on stage and off and how three generations of one family have fashioned what was once a farm on Eastern Long Island, to become one of the top ten summer theaters in the nation.

History:

The Gateway Playhouse - and its first incarnation, the Gateway Hotel, have operated under the same family management since 1941. The property, originally a farm, was formerly the estate of J. L. B. Mott, and its Mansion House and ballroom were designed by the famous architect Stanford White. Presently the buildings on the property include: the Main Stage Playhouse and old Barn Theatre, part of the original mansion house, dance and rehearsal studios, costume shop and costume storage loft, the scene shop, paint shop and technical office, administrative office, prop and furniture storage, “the party room,” various buildings used as housing for personnel and staff.
