January Shows At Theatre Three In Port Jefferson

Going into the second week of January, there are still many great shows to check out at Theatre Three in Port Jefferson. Check out some of the listings below.

"Art" - Jan. 12 to Feb 4.

Ticket prices: $20 to $35

Winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play and Winner of the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Yasmina Reza’s brilliant play asks the questions: What is art? What is friendship? And which is more important? Life-long friends Serge, Marc and Yvan are about to find out! When Serge spends a small fortune on an unusual piece of modern art, he expects Marc and Yvan to be as excited as he is. Instead, words fly and sparks ignite as the men square off over the canvas. Lines are drawn (both literally and figuratively) and their ensuing battle grows to encompass not just the painting but past failures and personal failings. With white-hot wisecracks and discerning commentary, ‘ART’ is a funny, sophisticated, humorous and provocative evening of theatre.

"The Comic Genius of Bob Nelson" - Jan. 17 8 p.m.

Ticket price: $39

Watching a Bob Nelson live performance is like watching several different types of top comedians all rolled up into one. Characters like the lovable nerd Eppy Epperman, punchy boxer Jiffy Jeff and chicken rancher Wilby Stuckinson are as funny and memorable as any you will see in comedy today. Bob's football routine is a recognized comedy classic and "Morning", his tale of a farmer and a duck, is one of the finest works of one man showmanship to grace the modern stage. If all that were not enough, Bob's ability to relay personal stories and observations about everyday life put him in the same league as the best of today's stand-up comics. His shows are filled with spontaneity, zaniness and singular moments that will astound you. Throughout his career Bob Nelson has been hailed as one of the most gifted funny people on the planet.
