Purchasing directly from Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center (secure.whbpac.org | 631-288-1500 | 76 Main St, Westhampton Beach, NY) is the only way to guarantee that you are getting the best available seats for the best price.

By purchasing from an unauthorized reseller, you may pay over the face value and you may not get correct information about the show.  WHBPAC is not responsible for claims made by third parties about event information, ticket location, etc.  WHBPAC cannot help you with purchases not made through WHBPAC sales channels, including but not limited to lost, modified, or fraudulent tickets, changes in event date or time, refunds, or upgrades.  All tickets will display the order number, the purchaser’s name, the face value of the ticket, the date and time of the show, and the seat number if the show is a reserved seat performance.  Tickets are valid only for the specific date and time written on them.  Any removal of information or other modifications to e-tickets or physical tickets will render the said ticket void.

WHBPAC began offering youth-centered performances when it first opened its doors, and the continued growth of this program has transformed WHBPAC into one of the premier performing arts education providers in the region. Today, in addition to thriving School Day Bus-in performances, the WHBPAC provides a wide variety of year-round performing arts opportunities. In one year, over 600 students will participate in after school classes, summer camps, or both! We are a thriving year round academy for the arts, producing our own full-length productions for all ages!

Ways to Support

Despite an aggressive and successful fund-raising campaign, the board was still forced to borrow nearly $1.6 million from North Fork Bank when the theater reopened in 1998, raising the total amount of the two loans to about $1.8 million. The board started paying down the interest and principal after reopening in July 1997, and made its last payment in June 2005. But in order to stay in business, the Center must raise more than half its budget each year since ticket sales only cover half of the costs of running the theater.
