The beautifully restored Northport Theatre for the Performing Arts is currently hosting the Long Island premiere of "Brooklyn Boy", a BareBones Production, written by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Margulies. It's been forty years since there has been a live performance on this Northport stage.

Councilman Stuart P. Besen recently attended one of the performances. Besen stated, "This theatre brings back some special memories. I received my first kiss in that balcony! Today we're so proud to have this theater renovated, reopened and hosting such a vast array of entertainment."

Councilman Stuart Besen presented the Northport Arts Coalition, a non-profit group of volunteers, a Town of Huntington Proclamation for their untiring efforts in bringing Arts and Humanities to the area.
