Theatre
By The Sea has had many incarnations since opening on August 7, 1933.
Tommy Brent saved the theatre from demolition in 1967 and ran it successfully until FourQuest Entertainment took over the lease in 1988. Following extensive renovations, FourQuest reopened the theatre in the spring of 1989 and continued producing high quality entertainment at the seaside playhouse until the fall of 2003.
Bill Hanney purchased the property in 2007 and, with producing partners, successfully mounted a production of “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” just six weeks later, reopening the historic theatre on August 8, 2007.
Since then, Theatre By The Sea has continued to produce a four-musical subscription season, a late-night cabaret series, a children’s theatre festival, and a children’s summer theatre camp.
