Yet, with so much to offer there has long been a desire to create a place, an actual physical place, which could serve Montauk’s community in all its diversity.
In 1999 The Montauk Playhouse Community Center Foundation, Inc. (MPCCF) was born, and an organized effort to save the historic Montauk Playhouse and create a vibrant home for arts, education, athletics and much needed community and human services began.
Thanks to the efforts of the entire community, the Montauk Playhouse has now been beautifully restored, and facilities and services within half of the structure have been up and running since spring ‘06.
Visit the Playhouse any day and you will find:
- a child day care center,
- a senior nutrition center,
- an adult day care center,
- a high-school regulation-sized gymnasium,
- a fitness center and
- a physical therapy practice.
And that’s not all. Plans are currently underway for:
- An Aquatic Center with lap and recreation pools
- Multi-use Community rooms and lounges
The Foundation is working tirelessly to raise the estimated $10 million needed to complete the Playhouse. Find out how you can get involved and be a part of realizing this dream.
The mission of the Montauk Playhouse Community Center Foundation (MPCCF) is to raise funds for the restoration and development of the historic Montauk Playhouse, creating a vital community center for the arts, education, recreation and human services for Montauk and the East End.

The Montauk Playhouse is a beautiful asset to the town, visually, physically and spiritually.” – George W.
