Arts & Theatre

  • Billy Gibbons Will Pay a Visit to Patchogue on Valentine’s Day
  • Lobby Hero asks what happens when the need to be seen as competent, moral, or important outweighs the courage to be honest. In a confined space where authority, ambition, and fear collide, each character justifies their choices in the name of survival. What emerges is not a battle between right and wrong, but a portrait of how easily good intentions can bend under pressure. The Psychological Drama of “Lobby Hero” at Lindenhurst’s Manes Studio Theatre
  • Christmas is Done, But the Fun’s Just Begun! Late December /Early January Things to Do Over Holiday Break Along the Great South Bay
  • The creator of The Happy Elf is none other than Harry Connick Jr.  (born September 11, 1967), an American singer, pianist, composer, actor, and former television host. As of 2019, he has sold over 30 million records worldwide. Connick's best-selling album in the United States is his Christmas album When My Heart Finds Christmas (1993). Harry Connick Jr.’s “The Happy Elf” at Babylon’s Argyle Theater is a Holiday Must-See
  • On Sundays in 1962, television host Chuck McCann, would read the New York Sunday News, which featured the cartoon character Little Orphan Annie. He wore white circular discs over his eyes to portray Annie as he read the comic strip aloud. Such an oddity to me back then, those discs affixed to the eyes scared me. It even led me to dislike the Little Orphan Annie comic strip. However, seeing the production of Annie at the Argyle Theatre, directed by Valerie Wright, completely changed my mindset. “Annie” at Babylon’s Argyle Theatre

Dining Review

  • January brings new beginnings, shedding habits that don’t serve us and starting fresh—like committing to eat healthier, one small step many people take. As someone passionate about food, my main focus is on choosing healthier options and making sustainable choices that I can maintain—at least for a while. The South Shore of Long Island boasts several top-quality health food markets and grocery stores that can make this easier. From fully prepared meals to the ingredients needed to make them, it’s a perfect time to visit some of our local stores and get inspired for the new year. Resolving to Eat Healthy in 2026
  • Wednesday, January 21 “A Few Good Men”: The Celebrating Rob Reiner Series A powerful courtroom drama driven by sharp dialogue and unforgettable performances, A Few Good Men stands as one of Rob Reiner’s most commanding films. In conjunction with the series, Celebrating Rob Reiner’s Life in Cinema, The Boulton Center for the Performing Arts, 37 West Main Street in Bay Shore, intends to carry on Reiner’s legacy and talent. Intense, intelligent, and endlessly quotable, attend the viewing of the classic film at 7 p.m. and gain a deeper understanding of a cornerstone of Rob Reiner’s cinematic legacy. For tickets and more details, visit boultoncenter.org. Being Chill in January: Things to Do This Coming Weekend, and the Week Ahead Along the Great South Bay
