This was our first visit  to Theater Three since Covid. We  had enjoyed our previous experiences and so decided to see, Agatha Christie’s, “Murder on the Orient Express.” It was wonderful! The performers were superb, the sets inventive and of course, the story is terrific!  One does not need to go into Manhattan to find excellent theater.


Theater Three is a National Historic Landmark in the heart of Port Jefferson.  The theater is located on Main Street. There is no dedicated parking lot. Being a Sunday, we were able to find parking in a nearby lot. If  it is evening, you can probably park in the lot for the stores close by.


Street-level, double doors lead to the box office entrance, with another set of doors to the lobby area. There is a large, carpeted, living room like area to the left, where there is some seating available. There is a single-occupancy, accessible restroom in this area. If you can walk down five steps you will find the multi-stall restrooms, as well as a Cafe and entrance to the Comedy Club that occupies the lower level of the building. There are also another set of restrooms to the right of the stairs in the lobby.


When the theater doors open for you to go to your seats, don’t be surprised by the 12 carpeted steps that are required to get to all seats. If you are unable to do the steps, there is a lift on the right side that will get you there.


Once you are at theater level there are no more reps. The aisles are wide and the seats (until Row M) are spacious enough that you do not have to stand up if someone needs to pass you. The seats above this row do not have nearly as much room!


If you want a snack at intermission you must go downstairs to get them. 


As we said previously, the show was great! We can’t wait to return!


As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to visit a venue’s website, www.theaterthree.com, when planning a visit, to “know before you go!”
