Half of the Montauk Playhouse was used as a movie theater in the 1960s and 1970s. (The structure was built in 1929 as a tennis auditorium with 2 courts.) Patrons did sit on directors chairs, which were left over from a 1959 ill-fated attempt to turn the Montauk Playhouse into a summer-stock theater.
