The Southampton Playhouse is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to serving the community of Southampton and beyond with first-rate cinema, live events, and more. It includes a state-of-the-art IMAX theater, 35mm projection, and a flexible space for parties and performance arts. As a historic theater that first opened its doors in 1932, the Playhouse embodies the resilience of the theatrical experience and its ability to inspire audiences for generations. Programming is designed to appeal to all sensibilities, blending the latest blockbusters with new and exciting discoveries from around the world, alongside eclectic repertory programs that probe the depths of film history. Playhouse is committed to providing interactive resources for audiences in many forms, from post-screening Q&As to workshops, lectures, and other bespoke experiences. Over the decades, the Southampton Theatre underwent various renovations, adapting to new technologies and evolving tastes in film. Despite these updates, the theater has retained its nostalgic, vintage atmosphere and remains a beloved institution within the community. Now renamed the Southampton Playhouse and having undergone an extensive renovation, this multi-purpose arts center is set to become a dynamic gathering place once more, showcasing both current blockbusters and independent films. With a robust repertory and live event program and a renewed focus on community engagement, the Playhouse honors its historical roots while continuing to serve as a cultural landmark in one of the most iconic seaside towns on Long Island. Jezet installed a retractable seating system and seats on wheels in the flexible space, as well as fixed seating in the cinema’s.
