Ms. Black, who died in 2015, was inspired by the trees and bays of East Hampton, where she lived for many years. According to Ms. Bujese, “Trees often seem as sentinels who guard the foliage, water, and pathways in the natural setting. In the simplified strokes, and pursuit of light, the works exude a meditative quality.”

“Intimate Apparel,” a play by Lynn Nottage that opens Saturday at Bay Street Theater, with preview performances tonight and tomorrow, takes audiences back in time to 1905 New York, where Esther Mills, an African-American seamstress, has a successful business making lingerie for ladies of all classes. 

Ms. Nottage was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama twice, for her plays “Ruined” and “Sweat.” 

Based on the life of her grandmother, “Intimate Apparel” debuted 14 years ago at Center Stage in Baltimore and went on to win the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Play and the American Theatre Critics Association’s Francesca Primus Award for best play. Scott Schwartz, the Bay Street Theater artistic director, who is known for his direction on and off-Broadway, directs the production.

“One of things I feel strongly about doing at Bay Street is showing works by major American writers before they wrote the ‘big one,’ ” Mr. Schwartz said recently. “The smaller plays ebb away, get lost because the next thing is always coming.”

The show follows Esther as she navigates life and romances with a series of complex characters. George, a Caribbean laborer who works on the Panama Canal, trades poetic letters with Esther that become increasingly passionate, even though the two have never met in real life. Mr. Marks, a Hasidic shopkeeper, sells Esther fabrics and shares with her an appreciation for the beauty of silks. Esther and Mr. Marks’s blossoming relationship is impossible because of the limitations placed by society in the turn-of-the-century, even if Esther’s heart longs to be with him, and his with her.

Kelly McCreary, who stars on “Grey’s Anatomy” as Dr. Maggie Pierce, will play Esther. Ms. McCreary appeared in “Scandal,” “Castle,” “Emily Owens M.D.,” “I Just Want My Pants Back,” and “White Collar,” among television shows. Her stage credits include the Broadway production of “Passing Strange.”

The cast also includes Edward O’Blenis (“Uncle Vanya,” “Tall Grass”) as George, and Blake DeLong (“Othello,” “Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812”) as Mr. Marks. Esther’s friends, each with her own struggles and worries, are played by Portia (“Ruined,” “McReele,” “Our Lady of 121st Street”), Julia Motyka (Bay Street’s “Travesties”), and Shayna Small (“The Colored Museum”) as Mrs. Dickson, Mrs. Van Buren, and Mayme, respectively.

“Intimate Apparel” will run until July 30. Tickets range from $30 to $125, with special deals for theatergoers under 20 and free student matinees. All ticket deals must be purchased at the box office. Regular tickets are available online or by phone. 

The Hamptons International Film Festival’s SummerDocs series will kick off its 2017 season with “Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press” on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Guild Hall in East Hampton. Alec Baldwin will host the screening.

The film focuses on the implications of Hulk Hogan’s lawsuit against Gawker Media for violating his privacy by posting a brief clip from a sex tape. Mr. Hogan, whose suit was backed by Peter Thiel, a Silicon Valley billionaire who had his own bitterness about Gawker, was awarded $140 million. As a result, the digital media outlet declared bankruptcy and put itself up for sale. 

The film sheds light on how big money can silence media through legal means, as well as the perils and duties of the free press in a digital age. Tickets are $25, $23 for museum members.

Bay Street Theater will introduce the concert series “Music Mondays” on July 10 at 8 p.m. with a performance by the Tony Award-winner Betty Buckley, whose many credits include “Cats,” “Sunset Boulevard,” and the Bay Street production of “Grey Gardens.” She has also received three Grammy nominations and nominations for a second Tony as well as the Olivier and Saturn awards.

Subsequent programs, all of which will take place at 8 p.m., will feature Kelli Barrett and Jarrod Spector, Lorna Luft, and Billy Porter, among others. Tickets range from $69 to $125 and are available on the Bay Street Theater website. 

As part of its “Music on the Terrace” series, the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will host Mamalee Rose and Friends, a popular East End band that has mixed blues, gospel, and lively vocals for more than 20 years. The outdoor performance will take place tomorrow at 6 p.m.

Table eating is reserved for Golden Pear cafe patrons, so the museum encourages guests to take chairs or blankets for the lawn. The cafe will be open for light fare, beverages, and specialty cocktails, and the museum’s galleries will be open to the public as well. The concert is free for members, children, and students, and otherwise costs $12.

The Bridgehampton Antiques and Modern Design Show will take place at the Bridgehampton Community House through Sunday. It opens today with a preview from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The event is a showcase for Drucker Antiques, a leading specialist in Georg Jensen hollowware, flatware, and jewelry. Janet Drucker will be available to sign copies of her 2001 book, “Georg Jensen: A Tradition of Splendid Silver.”

Also on view will be a collection of vintage Butler and Wilson rhinestone jewelry, along with folk art and textiles, fine art, Hermes and Louis Vuitton fashion accessories, prints and posters, garden pieces, and wicker, from dealers ranging from Glen Leroux Antiques to David Smernoff Fine Art.

The show will be open tomorrow and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Sunday from 10 to 5. Admission is $5.

The third annual Southampton Jewish Film Festival offers an opportunity to explore a wide span of Jewish history and culture, with films ranging from a documentary about American delicatessens to a narrative feature that eerily foreshadows the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris.

As in previous years, this year’s program is a partnership between the Southampton Cultural Center and the Chabad Southampton Jewish Center. For the first time, it is casting a wider net with five screenings at Guild Hall in East Hampton, including tonight’s festival opener, “The People vs. Fritz Bauer,” which will be screened at 7:30. The other eight programs will take place at the Southampton Arts Center, formerly the Parrish Art Museum, on Job’s Lane.

In addition to 13 films, the festival has added theater to the mix. A staged reading of “The Resettlement of Isaac,” a play by Robert Karmon, will be held at the cultural center on Pond Lane on Aug. 21. The play is based on the true story of Isaac Gochman, a 17-year-old from Rovno, Poland, who in one night survived a Nazi massacre of his family along with 20,000 other Jews. Mr. Karmon will take questions after the screening.

One of the two narrative features in the festival, “The People vs. Fritz Bauer” is based on the true story of Bauer, a German Jewish attorney who emigrated to Denmark in 1935. He returned to Germany in 1949 and resumed his legal career, and in 1956 was appointed state attorney general in Frankfurt.

In 1957, Bauer received information that Adolf Eichmann, a pivotal figure of the Holocaust, was living in Argentina. Not trusting German intelligence, Bauer went instead to the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence service, as a result of which Eichmann was captured and tried in Israel in 1960.

Directed by Lars Kraume and starring Burghart Klaussner as Bauer, the film won six Lolas (the German Oscars), including best picture and best director.

The festival will return to Southampton on July 11 with the more lighthearted “Deli Man,” a documentary focused on Ziggy Gruber, whose Houston delicatessen, Kenny and Ziggy’s, is considered one of the best in the country. His story is augmented by the histories of iconic delis such as Katz’s, the 2nd Avenue Deli, and Nate ’n’ Al’s.

Guest speakers and filmmakers will attend seven of the screenings. “Arab Movie” is a documentary that explores how and why during the 1970s watching the Arab movie of the week on Israel’s only television channel became a national pastime. Carole Basri, an attorney and filmmaker born to Iraqi Jewish parents, will speak after the July 17 screening at Guild Hall.

“No Place on Earth” combines documentary with dramatic re-creation to tell the story of Chris Nicola, an American cave explorer who discovered a cave in Ukraine where a group of Jewish families survived the Holocaust by living underground in total darkness for more than a year. Mr. Nicola will attend the Aug. 3 screening at Guild Hall.

“Starting Over Again” is the story of Egypt’s Jews, who flourished after World War II during what was a golden age of tolerance and prosperity there. All of that changed after the Egyptian revolution of 1952. Lucette Lagnado of The Wall Street Journal, a Cairo-born Jew whose family had to leave Egypt as refugees, will offer her perspective on the film on Aug. 8 at the cultural center.

Other films include “Wagner’s Jews,” a documentary about the anti-Semitic composer some of whose closest associates were Jews who became devoted to him; “Bagels Over Berlin,” which features interviews with Jewish airmen who fought in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II; “Made in France,” a narrative feature focused on a small group of Paris-based terrorists, and “Germans and Jews,” a documentary about Germany’s transformation from silence about the Holocaust to facing it directly.

Complete information about the festival and tickets are available at scc-arts.org. Tickets are $15, $7.50 for children under 12.

The Amagansett Library will present “Stage to Film,” a series of six movies adapted from plays, starting Wednesday at 7 p.m. with “Fences,” the Oscar-nominated film adapted by August Wilson from his own play. Subsequent programs will feature “Coriolanus,” “Glengarry Glen Ross,” “Raisin in the Sun,” “Marat/Sade,” and “Bug.”

As an added incentive, from 5:30 p.m., Felice’s, the Italian restaurant adjacent to the library, will include a complimentary glass of wine with dinner on Wednesdays upon presentation of a film ticket.

The Southampton Cultural Center will kick off its annual Concerts in the Park series with a performance by Nancy Atlas on Monday at 6:30 p.m. at Agawam Park. After the inaugural concert, programs will take place Wednesdays at 6:30 through Aug. 30, with Saturday concerts on Aug. 5 and Aug. 12 at 5. Three shows will happen at Cooper’s Beach in Southampton.

Gene Casey and the Lone Sharks will perform on Wednesday at Cooper’s Beach. Other programs will feature Vanessa Trouble, the David Glukh Klezmer Ensemble, Chiclettes, and Mambo Loco, among others.

What better way to welcome summer in the Hamptons than with “Surf Movie Night,” a free program of short, noncommercial surf movies that will be shown under the stars at the Southampton Arts Center tomorrow at 8:30. 

The program was created by the photographer and filmmaker Michael Halsband, who selected the films with Chris Gentile, the owner of Pilgrim Surf Shop, and Taylor Steele, a surf filmmaker. Guests have been advised to bring chairs, blankets, and picnics, unless it’s raining, in which case the screening will be held in the center’s theater.

On Sunday at 4 p.m. the center will co-present with Via Brooklyn “A Night of Hitchcock: Talk, Theater, and Screening of ‘The 39 Steps.’ ” A film historian will speak about Hitchcock’s legacy, the cast of Via Brooklyn will perform a teaser for their upcoming play at the center of ‘The 39 Steps,’ and the Hitchcock classic will be shown. Tickets are $35, $20 for children, and include concessions, wine, and beer.
