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.
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.
