Theater is a place to disappear. Performers get lost in their roles. Audiences escape their daily lives. Community theater is where you come to experience the comedy and drama of others, sometimes real, sometimes imagined. Long Island has just the ticket to transport you into these alternative realities, while Broward Transportation has the means to enrich your experience.
Consider a prestigious ride in a limousine or antique car as the perfect entryway into a theatrical world of fantasy. Broward’s fleet of luxury vehicles will surely impress you. Great for couples, families, and larger groups, Broward’s professional transportation services will color your trip to the theater with class and luxury, complete with chauffeur and refreshments.
L.I. Community Theater Cooperative
Congratulations to the recent winners and nominees of the Long Island Community Theatre Awards. This can be a starting place to discover the best that Long Island has to offer. Whether you like dramas, fantasies, comedies, musicals, Long Island has it all – and more.
Children’s theater is popular here, as well as traveling theater. New plays, old plays, experimental shows, educational exhibits. There really is something for everybody.
Traditional Community Theater
Mixing it up with comedy, drama, musical, and mystery, the Theatre Box of Floral Park has 35 years of experience putting on professional productions, which have ranged from Sherlock Holmes, As You Like It, and Godspell to Death of a Salesman and Arsenic & Old Lace. If your lean is more toward comedy, you may want to see what’s playing at the Hampton Theater Company, especially if you delight in dinner & theater packages (lunch & theater, too!).
Musical Theater
If you’re looking for a taste of Broadway without dealing with Manhattan traffic, you’ll find big musical productions at Star Playhouse. Recently remodeled, this theater has brought the spectacles of Young Frankenstein, Monty Python’s Spamalot, Beauty and the Beast, and The King and I (among many others) to overjoyed audiences.
The Jewish Community Center offers the Sid Jacobson Community Players, a dedicated volunteer-based organization that produces large-scale musical productions like Grease, The Little Mermaid, and Fiddler on the Roof.

Theater for Kids
Some of the above mentioned theaters offer workshops and summer programs for kids and teens, so be sure to do thorough research. Otherwise, Studio Theater is notable for their summer theater program for kids, while their seasonal repertoire remains largely geared toward adults.
Kids and families may get a kick out of all Malverne Community Theatre has to offer. Their entertainment is an eclectic mix improv, interactive performances and kid-friendly versions of classical plays. Coming up in July: The Wizard of Oz: An Interactive Play for Children. Finally, as traveling shows go, Plaza Theatrical is perfect for young audiences. This amazing team showcases Broadway and children’s musicals, and they have their very own puppet theater: the Hudson Vagabond Puppets!
Non-traditional Community Theater
Maybe you’re looking for performance art that strays just a little from the mainstream. These theaters are expanding the definition of the art form in wildly interesting ways. The Long Island Theater Collective has much to offer in the way of traditional theater; however, it also values artistic growth, particularly in the way of multi-media. This non-profit is open to new adaptations of classics, modern plays, and even unknown playwrights. Best of all: they won’t turn away patrons who cannot afford the cost of ticket!
For an educational spin on the medium, you may consider the traveling exhibits of St. George Living History Productions. Their award-winning educational programs travel across the country. Often historically based or biographical, these performances include staged shows, theme parks and wildlife programs, lectures, and festivals.
