Where Cinematic Magic Meets Community Spirit: Southampton Playhouse Opens

The Southampton Playhouse opened in Southampton Village over Presidents’ Day weekend. The opening included screenings of “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Paddington in Peru.”

Attendees included Southampton Playhouse Executive Director Maria Ruiz Botsacos, Artistic Director Eric Kohn, Southampton Playhouse Board Member Jack Heller, Southampton Village Mayor William Manger Jr, Deputy Mayor Leonard Zinnanti, and Trustee Robin Brown.

The historic theater on Hill Street first opened in 1932. Previously, it was a Regal UA theater, but it closed in 2020. Following a complete renovation and reopening as a nonprofit, Southampton Playhouse offers four screens, including the only IMAX theater on the East End. The venue also offers event space for parties and performance arts, a lounge area, and a bookstore.
