THEATRE THREE, located in Port Jefferson, New York, is a year-round not-for-profit professional regional theatre that was founded in 1969. For over fifty years, Theatre Three has occupied Athena Hall, a late 19th century historic building.

Each year, Theatre Three presents a Mainstage season of six productions (three musicals, two plays, and its acclaimed production of A CHRISTMAS CAROL.)

Theatre Three’s Mainstage seasons have offered a wide variety of productions including the Long Island premieres of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY; NEXT TO NORMAL; I AM MY OWN WIFE; INTO THE WOODS; CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD; M BUTTERFLY; PRELUDE TO A KISS; MR. CINDERS; SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME; and ALL IN THE TIMING; as well as the world premieres of SUMMER OF ’69: RETURN TO WOODSTOCK; 1968: ROCK THE WORLD; WHERE THERE’$ A WILL; TREASURE ISLAND: A MUSICAL ADVENTURE; THE IRISH LEGACY; BEFORE I WAKE; and THE FACULTY ROOM.

THE FESTIVAL OF ONE-ACT PLAYS, at Theatre Three’s Ronald F. Peierls Theatre on the Second Stage, has produced over one hundred world premieres, selected from thousands of submissions world-wide. FRIDAY NIGHT FACE-OFF is Long Island’s longest-running improv troupe.

THEATRE THREE’S Dramatic Academy offers three semesters each year (Fall, Winter/Spring, and Summer) with classes for ages 6 through 17. Our MUSICAL THEATRE FACTORY presents two all-student productions each summer.

The in-house Children’s Theatre is Long Island’s only theatre committed to presenting original musicals for audiences of all ages. It has presented programs on a wide array of subjects: ecology (ROBINSON ROBOT AND THE LOST HALLOWEEN), the dangers of smoking (PUFF-THE-NOT-SO-MAGIC DRAGON), honesty (THE BOY WHO CRIED WEREWOLF), and race relations and the homeless (THE THREE LITTLE PIGS OR HOME IS WHERE YOU HOLD YOUR HEART). Our in-house children’s programs are both entertaining and educational.

THEATRE THREE’s Educational Touring programs have been presented in schools and community centers across the tri-state area, as far south as Washington and Virginia, and as far north as Richmond Hill, outside of Toronto. “FROM THE FIRES: VOICES OF THE HOLOCAUST” and the two bullying project musicals “CLASS DISMISSED” and “STAND UP! STAND OUT!” have been seen by thousands of students.

THEATRE THREE’s Summer Concert series has played host to a wide variety of entertainment including the LONG ISLAND COMEDY FESTIVAL; THE DUPREES, THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE; TED VIGIL AS JOHN DENVER; ELLEN MICHELMORE’S WOODSTOCKMANIA; and many more.
