Here are the top 5 stories in Port Jefferson today:

1. After two years of cancellations due to the pandemic, Port Jefferson Theatre Three's Festival of One-Act Plays has returned. The festival features six diverse world premieres that are running the gamut from absurdist comedy to dramas. Short, one-act plays allow actors to explore a wide array of topics, some of which would not be able to endure the longer demands of a full play, and also allows the audience to be transported from one word to another in a blink of an eye. (Smithtown Matters)
2. Gunshots were fired in Port Jefferson on early Sunday morning. Suffolk police investigated the incident after a 911 caller reported that they heard gunshots on West Broadway just before 2 a.m. No injuries were reported, and no further details were released. (Port Jefferson Patch)
3. Kristin Winter works as a volunteer in the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Chamber of Commerce and also works as the manager of the Flushing Bank located in Port Jefferson Station. In an interview, Winter spoke about how the bank has been serving the Port Jefferson community throughout the years and is excited to continue. "I love working at Flushing Bank," she said. "At the heart of our community-based approach to banking is the philosophy that we are, 'Small enough to know you; Large enough to help you.'" For more information or to contact Winter, click here.

4. Stony Brook University started Women's History Month with its annual celebration that praises the achievements of women, promotes awareness against bias, and incentivizes social action for equality. This year's theme is Break the Bias and was inspired by International Women's Day. All events in celebration of this month will run until Monday, March 28. (TBR News Media)
5. A 19th-century barn that is located at Old Field Farm is ready to become a Setauket history museum. The Three Village Historical Society plans to rebuild the barn in a project that will cost $1.3 million. The museum will be under construction at the society's North Country Road headquarters. The ground was broken Saturday, and the museum is planned to open next year. (Newsday/Subscription Required)
