Patchogue Theatre Receives New York State Grant

PATCHOGUE, NY - The Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts was awarded a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) on Friday.

The local theatre received the funding to partially support its new World Arts Series. The Series will include five separate performances throughout the year which showcase performing arts from different regions around the world.

Each performance will entertain audiences of all ages, showcase high-caliber, culturally significant performing acts that authentically represent the different communities in Suffolk County, and expose audiences to other cultures and art forms.

"One of the most exciting aspects of Patchogue Theatre is the diversity in programming," Executive Director Gary Hygom said. "It continues to grow and build to represent the true diversity of Long Island as a whole."
