About Us

The Plaza Cinema and Media Arts Center is a single-screen art house cinema offering the best independent and foreign films on the South shore of Long Island. Our cozy 68 seat theatre is located in the heart of downtown Patchogue, and home to a variety of specialty series and programs along with hundreds of first-run feature films.

Our Performing Arts in Cinema series brings world-renowned operas and plays captured live from the world’s most prestigious stages to the big screen.

With classes in Film Animation, Editing, Media Literacy, and Exploring Film Genres, we invite our audience to dive deeper into the process of filmmaking and educate both movie-lovers and movie-makers, alike.

Pair a glass of fine wine or local craft beer with your favorite movie-theater snacks at the Blue Velvet Lounge.
