The objective of the Friends of the Fishers Island Theater is to take our historic theater, clunky and a little decrepit as it is, and turn it in to an island treasure that will be used and enjoyed for years to come not just during the summer but also during the shoulders seasons and for the occasional midwinter movie, school play, or cabaret.

Our goal is to raise the necessary funds to renovate the Theater, but most importantly to make it sustainable and self-sufficient by developing programing and a management & maintenance strategy that supports the Theater on an ongoing basis.

We improved programming, developed a special event strategy that not only brought us Ben Cameron and the Whiffenpoofs but also the “Fishers Island Car Show”.

Through a generous grant from the Sanger Foundation, we purchased a new state-of-the-art digital projection system.
