Get ready to watch the history of Smithtown on stage.

The one-act play, sponsored by Cablevision, The Gardiner Foundation & The Smithtown 350 Foundation, was written by acclaimed playwright, Sal St.George. Famous for bringing history to life on stage, St.George’s musical, the Spirit of Smithtown is seen through the eyes of a vaudevillian named Willie Collier.
