The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center (WHBPAC) isn’t just a venue — it’s the heartbeat of Hamptons culture. Housed in a beautifully restored 1932 art-deco theatre, it offers an intimate setting for concerts, comedy, films, and speaker events that draw audiences from across the East End.

This fall’s lineup captures that mix perfectly: upcoming performances include comedian Tom Papa (Nov 9), jazz icon Jane Monheit (Nov 16), and the return of The Doo Wop Project’s holiday show in early December — a local favorite that sells out quickly. For those craving something quieter, WHBPAC’s film series features independent releases and award-season contenders you won’t find at larger multiplexes.

Evenings here have a rhythm of their own. Locals often start with dinner at Margarita Grille or Flora, both within walking distance, before heading to the theatre. After the show, a quick stroll down Main Street — lights twinkling, ocean breeze rolling in — reminds you that this isn’t city nightlife, it’s Hamptons sophistication at a slower pace.

Beyond entertainment, WHBPAC runs arts education programs and community outreach, bringing creativity to local students and families year-round. It’s one of the reasons the Hamptons remains vibrant well beyond summer.
