by Joseph F. Panarello - Jul 7, 2008
Gateway Playhouse in Bellport remains and is so popular that local residents know better than to drive along South Country Road at certain hours lest they become entangled in traffic either entering or exiting the theater.
The Gateway Playhouse is located on the site of the former Mott Estate on the eastern-most tip of Bellport , New York .
