🎭 Manhasset theater revival could bring new life to Plandome Road

A plan to revive a Manhasset theater on Plandome Road is moving forward, with Jack Heller of Assemble Cinemas Holdings involved in the effort. The vision includes films, family programming, free community events, and a stronger cultural draw for downtown Manhasset.

The bigger story is what a working theater could mean for the business district. A revived venue can give people another reason to spend time downtown, support nearby restaurants and shops, and make Plandome Road feel more active beyond regular errands. The plan still sits alongside practical local issues, including parking, sewer connections, and the town’s decision to revoke permits for EV chargers at the Apple parking lot.
