New Directions to theatre loading dock:
- Long Island
Expressway (interstate 495) East (from New York City - Midtown Tunnel) to EXIT
62 : Nicholls Road
(county road 97) Take Nicolls
Road (CR 97) NORTH toward Stony Brook.
- After 6.3 miles on
Nicolls Road north you will have passed Suffolk County Community
College, Route 25 (Jericho Tpke.), and you will come to Route 347
(Nesconset Highway). Route 347 is the first really major intersection,
with at least 5 lanes in all four directions.
- After Route 347
proceed 2.2 miles passing two traffic lights. The second light is the
1ST (south) entrance to the Stony Brook campus and the University Hospital.
Pass this entrance.
- At the third traffic
light is the second (and the main) campus entrance. On both sides of
the road there is a white sign stating "Stony Brook - main
entrance". Make this left. At the traffic light turn right and
then make the next left onto John
Toll Dr. (maybe 50 yards from the traffic
light).
- The road curves
slightly to the left. After the grey wall on the left you will see three
ramps/loading areas next to one another. pass all of these. On
the left you will see a tall windowless brown brick extension of a
building (looks rather like a fly loft). Pull into the next loading
dock on left (immediately after the large windowless brown brick
building segment close to the road). This is the Staller Center
theatre loading dock.
If you come to the stop sign you have gone 50 yards too far.
- If you get lost, but are
on the campus, ask directions for the Student Union building, the front of
which is across the street from our loading area on John Toll Dr. If you ask for
directions to the Staller
Center that will
probably get you to the front of the building; likely not where you
want to be...
- Staller Center
offices are on the second floor, above the lobbies.
- If you feel you must
use a GPS enter coordinates North 4054.985’ West 07307.286’ or try
the cross streets of Stadium
Road and John S. Toll Drive. We DO NOT HAVE A TYPICAL ADDRESS AND YOU
WILL END UP AT THE STONY BROOK TRAIN STATION.
- Stony Brook is
about a 2 hour drive from New
York City in average conditions. absolute
best case 1 hour, in rush hour maybe 4 hours or more.
