SMITHTOWN, NY — Smithtown officials and the local business community are making an effort to revitalize the Smithtown Performing Arts Center and making a call to action to help "save" the theatre, the town announced.

Smithtown Supervisor Edward Wehrheim, other local officials, and Smithtown Center for Performing Arts President Mike Mucciolo earlier in June unveiled the details of the upcoming restoration of the Smithtown Performing Arts Center.

“I can not express just how vital the Theatre is to the business district's successful revitalization transformation," Wehrheim stated. "I have the utmost faith in the Smithtown Performing Arts Council and I look forward to our continued partnership in restoring the anchor of Main Street in Smithtown."
