The two rear entrances have street-level, single doors leading to long hallways that will get you to the box office and theater entrance.
The theater itself is spacious, with wide carpeted aisles (no steps) to all seats. Wheelchair and companion seating is available. Just a note to let you know that renovation is ongoing. They are working on reupholstering the seats at the moment. This was originally a middle school, which happily, has been repurposed.
Multi-stall restrooms, with handicapped-accessible stalls are located in the hallways near the rear entrances. Although the handicapped-stalls are a bit small, they are manageable. Entry and exit are easy. The men’s room is in one hallway, the ladies’ room in the other.
Snacks were available during intermission at the rear of the theater.
If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to call the box office, (631) 581 – 5119. I did, and had a lovely conversation with a very helpful individual.
