John W Engeman Theater At Northport
- Musician, within last year
Great theatre! Super cute town, professional atmosphere, AFM pay. The commute can be a bit tedious (it's just over an hour from Penn Station/Grand Central) but the company covers all transportation. The music contractor is extremely kind and always advocates for the best from his musicians. Would gladly work here again.

Worked on their crew in multiple positions. Rates are abysmally low with no change year to year and no empathy or understanding towards cost of living. Very high expectations, little to no understanding from management on the work involved. It was an okay place to get some experience and build a resume/skills but unsustainable financially to work there long term

Professional, nice experience. Housing in a case by case basis as they are within a certain proximity to Manhattan that equity does not require they provide housing for all actors but they have transportation for actors. Beautiful theater, cute town, decent people, and very organized.

Upper mgmt does not care about you or your safety. Housing is for who they choose, no matter how far away you live. When problems arise, they tell you one thing and do something different. On an LOA but building a hotel across the street so their money is there.

Professional experience. They treat you well and pay for your transportation to and from the city. In my opinion they need to be paying their non-union actors more as the commute to and from the city every day is a lot!
