Hampton Twin Arts To Open Later This Month After Puff-Back
A sign on the theater says it will reopen on April 12.
The Hampton Arts Theatre in Westhampton Beach is set to re-open after it was forced to close its doors in February after a puff-back.
A sign posted on the theater's marquee states that the theater will show the film, Forty & Two, starting April 12.
The theater temporarily closed its doors on Feb. 10 after a cop patrolling the area noticed heavy smoke coming from the back of the building and alerted the Westhampton Beach Fire Department.
