Staller Center for the Arts
Stony Brook, NY · 🚂 ~0.4 mi from Stony Brook LIRR
Stony Brook University's performing arts anchor pulls names you'd otherwise drive to Manhattan for, from David Sedaris to full orchestras scoring Pixar films, across a 1,000-seat main stage and an intimate recital hall. The free Paul W. Zuccaire Gallery and the summer Stony Brook Film Festival make it a legit year-round arts campus, not just a college auditorium.
LOCAL TIP
The Stony Brook Film Festival in late July is the sleeper move: indie premieres on a huge screen for a fraction of city festival prices, and parking is easy in summer.
