Phase
1 - Now Open Background |
PHASE II - FUTURE PLANS With the completion of Phase I, the Montauk Playhouse Community Center Foundation (MPCCF) continues to move forward on plans for Phase II construction. The MPCCF has embarked on a capital campaign and holds fundraisers throughout the year to raise funds to include a Performing Arts Center, Aquatics Center, and two community lounges within the unfinished second half of the Montauk Playhouse Community Center. As part of its commitment to construct Phase II facilities, the MPCCF has taken on the responsibility of developing sustainable models for both the Performing Arts and Aquatics Centers. Separate committees for each center, made up with community members, are working with Bill Schlumpf of Island Structures Engineering, P.C. and others to develop architectural, management, operating and marketing plans to ensure the future success of each facility. (Click here to view the Mission and Vision statements for both committees.) The MPCCF has recently contracted with ARTEC, a consulting firm specializing in design and planning services for performing arts centers. The Performing Arts Center Committee is currently working with ARTEC on the programming design phase of the future theater. This phase will help determine the community's wants and needs for the facility and will be integral in the development of the Performing Arts Center's architectural and operating plans. FUTURE FACILITIES The Performing Arts Center
will be a living testimony to the importance and appreciation of
the arts on the East End of Long Island. The state of the art facility
will feature a 290-seat theater, back stage areas, the latest lighting
and sound equipment, community space, and a glass-enclosed lobby reminiscient
of the building's original Carl Fisher design. The facility will be
positioned to become a destination of choice on Long Island for both
performers and theatergoers. The indoor Aquatics Center
will provide our coastal community with recreational access to water
year-round. The community will benefit greatly from the many opportunities
that the 5-lane lap and recreation pools will offer. Programming opportunities
for all ages could include swimming lessons and competition, fitness
classes, family fun, water therapy and rehabilitation, and lifeguard
training. An active room, the North
Lounge will offer a comfortable and safe setting for both youth
and adults to gather, promoting multi-generational interaction. Game
tables and couches will provide recreation and areas for small group
gatherings, meetings, and other activities. A quiet, peaceful space,
the South Lounge will offer opportunities for reading, quiet
reflection, card playing, and small gatherings. The Fisher-era fireplace
will warm guests on cool nights, and the Craft Room will allow participants
in both Senior and Youth programs to interact in a creative setting.
