“Water, water everywhere . . . but is it safe to drink?” If he were alive today, Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner might have told a different, less poetic story, perhaps as a speaker at “Tideland Sessions,” an all-day program of talks and performances organized in conjunction with the Parrish Art Museum’s current exhibition, “Radical Seafaring.” 

Artists, writers, scientists, and historians will converge on the museum in Water Mill to consider water from a variety of perspectives on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Carl Safina, a noted ecologist who heads the Safina Center at Stony Brook University and hosts the PBS television series “Saving the Ocean,” will deliver the keynote address at 11 a.m.

“Radical Seafaring,” which will be on view through July 24, is the first museum exhibition devoted to site-specific artists’ projects carried out on the water, and several of the show’s 25 artists will participate in Saturday’s program.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Mare Liberum, a Brooklyn artist collective devoted to the construction of viable aquatic craft as an alternative to life on land, will lead a paper boat-building project for all ages. Participants will make their own 18-inch paper dories that will be able to float once sealed. The group draws from such sources as improvised refugee boats from Senegal and Cuba, ocean-crossing rafts, and modern stitch-and-ply construction methods.

Mr. Safina, who will sign copies of his books after his talk, grew up around the coast of Long Island where, he wrote, “watching the places I loved disappear turned me into a conservationist.” He has been active in ocean conservation since the 1990s and, since then, has turned increasingly toward writing to express “my main conclusion . . . that at this this point in history, nature and human dignity require each other.”

At noon, participants can join breakout lunch discussions at one of several theme tables that will be led by representatives of regional environmental initiatives. The Southold Project in Aquaculture Training will serve complimentary oysters, farmed at the Harbor Lights Oyster Company in Southold, on the museum’s terrace.

“Something in the Water,” a discussion about water quality, will follow at 1 p.m. with Nancy N. Kelley of the Nature Conservancy on Long Island, Edwina von Gal of the Perfect Earth Project, and Mara Dias of the Surfrider Foundation.

At the 2:30 session, “What We Sea: Artists’ Views From the Water,” Courtney Leonard, an artist from the Shinnecock Nation; Mary Mattingly, whose modified houseboat WetLand will be docked at Long Wharf in Sag Harbor in June as part of the exhibition, and Mare Liberum will give 10-minute presentations on their work.

Jon Semlear, a Sag Harbor commercial fisherman, Ken Mades, a bayman from Hampton Bays, and Nancy Solomon, a folklorist, will speak at the 4 p.m. session, “Working the Waters,” followed, at 5:30, by “Blue,” a performance of storytelling and images by Constance Hockaday, a Chilean-American artist who has created maritime projects for more than 15 years.

Admission is $10 for the entire day; members, students, and children are admitted without charge.

Last September, when the pianist and vocalist Judy Carmichael spoke with The Star about her upcoming cabaret performance at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, she was already excited, though the show was still eight months in the future. “Billy Stritch is going to be my guest,” she said. “We will have two Steinways and will play duets, and I will interview him onstage. Bay Street is perfect for that.”

At last, the time has come: On Saturday at 8 p.m., Ms. Carmichael and Mr. Stritch, a Grammy Award-winning jazz pianist, composer, and vocalist, will take the stage in front of an audience as she both interviews and performs with him. The evening will be recorded for later broadcast on her radio show and podcast, “Judy Carmichael’s Jazz Inspired.”

With Mr. Stritch, who appeared on a 2013 episode of “Jazz Inspired,” Ms. Carmichael will talk about their lives in music. On that 2013 show, she described her guest as a “rare performer who is a great musician and a great entertainer,” who “learned from the best, with long associations with Liza Minelli and Marilyn Maye.” This will be the first time they play and sing together.

The best part of “Jazz Inspired,” episodes of which are recorded both in the studio and onstage, is “getting to spend an hour with creative people I admire and hearing about their creative process and favorite jazz and how it’s inspired them,” Ms. Carmichael said last week, in the midst of a five-night engagement in London. “I always learn a tremendous amount from my guests.” 

“I’ve been a fan of Billy Stritch for many years,” she said. “We met in the 1980s when we appeared on the same radio show, so it’s lovely to have him on my show so many years later.” 

On the 2013 “Jazz Inspired” episode, Ms. Carmichael “asked the right questions and opened it up for really interesting stories,” said Mr. Stritch, who will conclude an engagement with Ms. Maye at Feinstein’s/54 Below in Manhattan tomorrow. “She really knows the art of leading, drawing out her guest, and is a lot of fun to converse with.” On Saturday, “I’ll play for her, she’ll play for me, and then we’ll do duets.” 

The program is presented in a theatrical manner, Mr. Stritch said, and its improvisational aspect “appeals to me because it will be unique to the evening. Anything can happen — that’s what makes it very interesting. I’m trying not to over-rehearse and overthink it.” 

Songs from Ms. Carmichael’s new album of original music, “Can You Love Once More? Judy & Harry play Carmichael & Allen,” will be featured, she said. “Billy’s a great pianist-singer in his own right, and a favorite accompanist for others, so it will be a thrill to play with him and have him play for me, which we plan to do,” she said. “Our Bay Street producer, Gary Hygom, is bringing two Steinway grands for the event, so it’s a big piano night!” 

“Jazz Inspired” airs on WPPB Peconic Public Broadcasting on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. It can be downloaded in podcast form at the Apple iTunes store and TalkShoe.com, and downloaded or streamed from jazzinspired.com. 

Tickets for Jazz Inspired with Judy Carmichael and Billy Stritch are $35, $50, $65, and $75.

This is the week that the number of dining options burgeons, as numerous area restaurants that serve only in the busy season open their doors for the Memorial Day holiday and the coming summer.

Tacombi Montauk, which is known as La Brisa, is one of them. The Mexican restaurant in Montauk focuses on flavors of the Yucatan and has specialties that include local fluke ceviche, crispy fish tacos, and crispy shrimp tacos. 

Opening for the first time this year is the Greenwich, which has taken the Water Mill spot last occupied by Red Styxs. It opens today and promises, according to a press release, “local food in a simple manner.” Large-table specials include watermelon salad, tuna chops, rib eye, and rack of lamb. There is also a “curated cocktail program” and an extensive wine list.

In Southampton, one of a number of New York City-in-the-Hamptons eateries opened today. The Jue Lan Club, serving Chinese cuisine, is just across from the Southampton train station. Dinner will be served nightly, except for Tuesday, and a “bottomless brunch,” featuring dim sum and other choices, and unlimited Bloody Marys, lychee bellinis, mimosas, and screwdrivers, for $34.95. The Jue Lan Club is also planning a nightclub called Elm & Main for late-night D.J. music and dancing, with the kitchen staying open late to serve small bites.

In two other changes for 2016, Tutto Il Giorno in Sag Harbor will become Dopo La Spiaggia, which means “after the beach.” Reportedly, Marizio Marfoglia, the chef, will remain in charge of the spot, while Gaby Karan, a partner in the venture, will oversee the Tutto locations in Southampton and New York City.

In Montauk, Dave’s Grill has moved across Montauk Harbor from its spot along West Lake Drive to the Gone Fishing Marina on East Lake Drive, thus becoming Dave’s Gone Fishing.

The Smokin’ Wolf barbecue takeout spot in East Hampton has reopened its ice cream bar for the season. The shop will be open on Memorial Day from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The jams will be sold at the Havens Farmers Market on Shelter Island and at the Hampton Bays farmers market. Information can be found at hamptonjam.com.

Judith Hudson at Tripoli

“Fur and Flesh,” an exhibition of new paintings by Judith Hudson, will be on view at the Tripoli Gallery in Southampton from Saturday through June 28. A reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 7.

The paintings in “Fur and Flesh” often combine the two elements, portraying naked women in contact with animals — a purring leopard, a tiger’s tongue, a horse’s whiskers — as a representation of the sensuousness of both. 

The Art Barge Is Back

The Victor D’Amico Institute of Art on Napeague, better known as the Art Barge, will inaugurate its summer workshops on June 6, when courses in studio painting and ceramics will begin. Both are open to all levels of experience.

Mr. Solla’s music fuses modern Argentine tango and folk with jazz and other contemporary music styles. Born in Argentina and based in New York City, the Grammy-nominated composer, arranger, and performer has played throughout Europe, Japan, Latin America, and the United States at important jazz festivals and venues.

Tickets are $10; free for members, students, and children. Guests have been encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets; refreshments will be available from the Golden Pear Cafe.

The Perlman Music Program will open its summer program at the Clark Arts Center on Shelter Island this weekend with two alumni recitals and a family music event.

On Sunday afternoon at 2:30, Doori Na, a violinist, will perform a recital of music by Bach, Chausson, Franck, and Paganini with the pianist Sean Kennard. Mr. Na has performed with many different ensembles around New York City, ranging from classical and new music to jazz. Tickets to each alumni concert are $25, free for students.

Classical music, performed by Jia Kim on cello and Ms. Cloud on violin, will be accompanied by snacks and activities geared toward children ages 3 to 8 on Sunday morning at 11. The program is free and open to all.

The Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will kick off its 25th summer season Saturday night with “How Long Has This Been Going On?” an evening of stories, songs, and laughs with Mario Cantone and Jerry Dixon, followed next week by the world premiere of “The Forgotten Woman,” a new comedy-drama by Jonathan Tolins.

Mr. Cantone and Mr. Dixon will take the stage at 8 with a program of music and repartee created in February for Lincoln Center’s American Songbook. “It’s the first time my husband and I have done a concert together,” said Mr. Cantone. “We’ve put together a show, mostly music, that kind of represents the dynamics of our relationship. We are pretty much the same onstage as off.” 

The show includes songs by Louis Prima, Cole Porter, Eric Benet and David Foster, and Maury Reston, as well as “some Broadway and pop stuff. We picked songs individually, and we do a handful of duets. Some of it is very funny, and some of Jerry’s stuff is amazing, because he’s got this gorgeous, rich, creamy, beautiful deep voice. I’m just a crazy-ass belter. I have to sing one ballad, and it’s scary, but I get through it.”

Mr. Cantone is a comedian and actor who has appeared in three hit Broadway shows: Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s “Assassins,” Terrence McNally’s “Love! Valor! Compassion!” and “Laugh Whore,” his own one-man show, which he developed at Bay Street. “They gave us rehearsal space, and I did a few run-throughs there with my director, Joe Mantello, who lived in Sag Harbor at the time. I’ve got a real history with Bay Street.”

Mr. Dixon is an actor, vocalist, songwriter, and director who, as an actor, has appeared on and off Broadway and on television. His stage directing credits range from “Two Gentlemen of Verona” to “The Full Monty,” and he has written for CBS, VH1, Comedy Central, and “The View.” As a soloist, he has performed with the Belgian National Symphony, the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan, and the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra.

Tickets for “How Long Has This Been Going On?” are priced from $69.25 to $125.

“The Forgotten Woman,” directed by Noah Himmelstein, will open Tuesday at 7 p.m. and continue through June 19. The woman of the title is Margaret Meier, a gifted soprano on the verge of an important operatic career. When a reporter appears at her Chicago hotel room, she must face her less-than-passionate marriage, her child, her ambition, her weight, and the price of aspiring to stardom.

The title role is played by Ashlie Atkinson, who has appeared on stages in New York City and nationally, on television in “30 Rock,” “Law and Order,” “Louie,” “The Good Wife,” and “Boardwalk Empire,” and in such films as “Bridge of Spies,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and “Inside Man.”

“Margaret was a shy 15-year-old girl who loved to sing,” said Ms. Atkinson. “Once she was discovered, with hard work everything fell into place, but there weren’t a lot of choices along the way. This play is about her deciding what her path is going to be as a woman, as a romantic partner, as a performer. It’s about choice and agency and taking control of your life, but it’s also about the life of an artist, and ways artists are fundamentally different from other people.”  

Ms. Atkinson knew nothing about opera before undertaking the role. “To be able to have a crash course as part of my work is really exciting for me. I love the tension between the heightened, beautiful, transcendent quality of the work and the mundane, everyday, often challenging, often downright depressing aspects of Margaret’s offstage life. This was originally a comedy. But truthfully, like most of the things I love to be in and watch, I think it’s very funny until it’s not. And then it’s really not funny.”

No stranger to divas as subject matter, Mr. Tolins is the author of “Buyer and Cellar,” a 2013 Off Broadway comedy hit about a struggling actor who lands a job working in Barbra Streisand’s basement, where she has created a mall of old-time shops. That play, according to Ben Brantley of The New York Times, “manages to keep you laughing as hard as any first-rate celebrity spoof.”

Performances of “The Forgotten Woman” will take place daily except Mondays. Show times are 7 p.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and 8 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays. Tickets are priced from $25 for back row seats to $125. For Tuesday’s performance, a limited number of pay-what-you-can tickets will be available on a first-come-first-served basis at the box office, beginning at 11 a.m.

Summers on the East End are famous for many things, not least the annual smorgasbord of fund-raising events at which, depending on your taste and generosity, you can enjoy a Barefoot Contessa dinner, dancing under the stars, a lavish auction with a celebrity auctioneer, avant-garde performances, dinner with literary luminaries, and six hours of shopping for high-end clothing, accessories, home goods, and more at a serious discount.

Among the best-known benefits are the Parrish Art Museum’s Midsummer Party and the Bay Street Theater’s Summer Gala, both of which are likely to sell out in advance despite being held the same evening. Art or theater, it’s your choice.

The Watermill Center’s Fada: House of Madness is another hot ticket, with installations and performances by its summer resident artists indoors and out. The LongHouse Reserve’s Serious Moonlight will feature the aforementioned dancing alfresco, and Guild Hall will unveil its exhibition “Aspects of Minimalism” (which refers to the art in the galleries, not the dinners in private homes to follow).

This weekend alone will feature the Animal Rescue Fund’s Designer Showhouse and Sale at the ARF thrift shop in Sagaponack; an Evening of Wine and Roses at the Southampton Cultural Center; a backyard barbecue in Bridgehampton for the LGBT Network, and a celebration of Planned Parenthood’s 100th anniversary at a celebrity photographer’s Bridgehampton farm.
