This is a really great little theater. No matter where you sit in this theater you can see…read moreeverything going on on stage, and the orchestra is excellent. Next time I think I would like to sit in that section. It's a little smaller, less seats and closer to the stage than where we sat. The play we saw was called, Half Time. It was a true story about older people who auditioned for the half time show for a basketball game. It was funny, entertaining and sad all at the same time. The actors did an amazing job. As far as the singing, some were better than others, but I think part of the problem was, some of the microphones were not as loud as others. It was still really awesome, and made the reality of getting older sobering and funny at the same time. I am not sure how long this show is running, but if it is still at this theater, you should go see it. I was able to only sneak two photos, since we weren't allowed to take pictures. I would go back to see other shows here. It's a great theater located in the great town of Port Jefferson!

People are systemically moved through, it is a well oiled machine. We arrived before our reservation on a Sunday night at 730, relatively empty when we first got there. Parking lot packed when we left. It is an enjoyable experience and never the same. If you are not down for the frights they will allow you to wait in the "festival" area and hang out. There is covered seating outside as well.

What a lovely theater. We saw THE WEDDING SINGER and it was a first rate production. Views are…read moreterrific from any seat and the staff is super friendly and polite. Seats are also comfortable. They have a nice bar and snack area and clean restrooms. It's located right on MAIN STREET so you have many options for lunch or dinner nearby. They do offer valet parking which is nice. The area has lots of municipal parking but they can get full pretty fast so parking may be an issue if you don't use the valet. Definitely a great place and we are looking forward to going back again.

They have a bar offering drinks and snacks - heads up...a water was $4 lol. The parking is crazy in that area but they do offer free valet parking which is nice. I'd def visit again though if there is a show I'd like to see. I saw The Bodyguard here and it was good. I enjoyed it alot!

I still love this theatre, for all the reasons other reviewers stated. But the last time I was…read morethere in mid March it was freezing and almost impossible to stay- but we did. I have since heard the heat had been not worked since early fall and throughout the winter. I didn't want to write this review on yelp because I love the theater and I understand they're a nonprofit and might be struggling. I wrote a letter detailing the experience and never got an answer. I copied two of the of the people on the contact list of the theater. Does anyone know if this has been fixed and if the heat is part of a HVAC system would that mean there will also be no air conditioning in the heat of the summer. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I really like this place. It's cozy and features films that are intelligent and off-the-beaten…read moretrack

Took my son to a birthday party at Sayville Theatre and it ended up being such a great experience…read more From the moment we walked in, the woman behind the counter couldn't have been nicer--she was incredibly sweet, helpful, and made sure we had all the information we needed for the party. The popcorn was fresh (which always matters more than it should), and everything ran smoothly. Most importantly, Mikey had an awesome time at the movie, which is really what it's all about. What really stood out too was their pricing for birthday parties and events--very reasonable, especially for how easy they make the whole experience. Great spot for kids' parties--welcoming, stress-free for parents, and definitely a place we'd come back to.

Supporting local theaters matters and this place is a reminder of why. From the comfortable seats to the fresh popcorn, everything is done with attention to detail. It's not just about watching a movie it's about keeping community spaces like this alive.

I was even more hesitant when I only paid $19 for a newer movie. However, after I saw the theater showroom I was pleasantly surprised. They offer a wide variety of snacks at the concessions, as well as the usual Pepsi beverages. I purchased three small, but substantial, drinks and a large popcorn with one free refill for $21.25. The theater has plush, leather-like chairs (no recliners) and the entire place was either clean or being cleaned; this is a very tidy place. The best part yet was after traveling to two larger, more popular theaters and told they were sold out, this place was wide open. This place is great to take kids and family for a night at the movies. You can enjoy a movie, popcorn, and drink without having to take out a loan, which is required at most theaters.

My friend and I attended the Candlelight: Coldplay & Imagine Dragons concert on Friday, February…read more20, 2026 at 6:15 PM at CM Performing Arts Center. We arrived around 6:00 PM and joined the line to enter. As we got in, our tickets were scanned by fever staff. The usher brought us to our seats in Zone C. Seating is assigned on a first come first served basis in each zone. Our seats were good and had good visibility of the stage. The stage and the auditorium was filled with electric candles that had a warm and flickering glow. About 6:30 PM, the concert opened with Coldplay - Clocks. Then, the Highline String Quartet introduced themselves and talked us through the program. Some of the songs they played were Imagine Dragons - Radioactive, Coldplay - Fix You, Imagine Dragons - Eyes Closed, Imagine Dragons - Bad Liar, Coldplay - The Scientist, and Coldplay - Sky Full of Stars. As we approached the top of the hour, the Highline String Quartet asked the audience to make some noise to see if there were more Coldplay or Imagine Dragons fans. Coldplay won and they played Viva la Vida and did Imagine Dragons - Believer as an encore. The whole concert was a beautiful and magical experience. I was in awe of the music by the Highline String Quartet composed of 3 violinists and 1 cellist. Looking forward to attending more Candlelight concerts! CM Performing Arts Center is located in Lighthouse Commons, a group of businesses along Montauk Highway, and there are plenty of parking spots.
