In an early workshop of a limited-run summer production, Kate Mueth offered a peek at “Andromeda,” her latest project with the Neo-Political Cowgirls.

The workshop, held on March 22 at Guild Hall as part of the John Drew Theater Lab, featured a full cast, some rudimentary costumes, and prototype puppets. The performance began outside the building and meandered into the theater, down the aisles, and up onto the stage. Throughout the production, characters continued to

roam, sashay, gallop, or dance through the aisles, making it as interactive as a three-ring circus.

The Andromeda of classical myth may be unrecognizable to traditionalists. In Ms. Mueth’s vision, she is a young woman struggling to find her identity as a refugee in a town that would rather classify who she is, and what her caste in their society is for her. 

Her mother, Cassiopeia, wants the best for her daughter, and does her best to provide for her, even when it involves unseemly but expedient means. She tells her daughter that she is powerful and beautiful, a warrior princess who will some day command thousands. Her words inspire Andromeda’s strength, but get her into trouble. They also give her the faith in herself to outsmart a sea monster and fall in love.

Perseus, who is the hero in the myth, arrives too late and a dollar short in Ms. Mueth’s version. J. Stephen Brantley, who has performed in other Neo-Political Cowgirls productions, said in a discussion after the performance that he knew this Andromeda would not need rescuing. Instead, Perseus is a preening, rather full of himself, showman, just worthy enough of Andromeda to be her equal, but not hero enough to save her.

Much of the performance is dance, but there is a great deal of text and recited dialogue. LaWanda Hopkins, who played Andromeda, and Nehassaiu deGannes, who played Cassiopeia, were up to the task of emoting both physically and vocally, carrying much of the play. 

Josh Gladstone played Proteus, a figure from Greek mythology famous for assuming many forms. In this work, he appeared as a bird, a misshapen man, and a few other guises. He also served as a narrator or chorus for the story. Mr. Brantley, Susan Stout, and Thea Rebien played multiple roles, and all were versatile in their parts. The sea nymphs, all South Fork elementary students, took on their characters with enthusiasm and grace.

The puppets of crazy townspeople, designed by Liz Joyce, and a sea monster, designed by Eileen Gladstone, were rudimentary but evocative, adding both menace and spark to the production.

This was a raw work, one that was not only at the rehearsal stage in performance but still in the editing room regarding text and choreography. It was what Ms. Mueth called “a blank canvas with a first pass of paint thrown upon it.” But its faint lines and splotches showed signs of great promise, and the production she plans to offer later this year in Montauk and Springs should be a delight of summer.

Four screenwriters will come to East Hampton on Friday, April 8, to participate in the Hamptons International Film Festival’s Screenwriters Lab, the festival announced this week.

The writers and screenplays selected are Shane Andries’s “The Delegation,” Cathy Yan’s “Dead Pigs,” and Marshall Curry and Davy Rothbart’s “Biggz.” The mentors they will work with are Debra Granik, the writer and director of the Oscar-winning film “Winter’s Bone”; Michael Weber, the co-writer of “(500) Days of Summer” and “The Fault in Our Stars”; Mike Jones of Pixar, who wrote the English adaptations of the Oscar-nominated films “The Wind Rises” and “The Tale of Princess Kaguya,” and Alexander Dinelaris, a recent Academy Award winner for “Birdman: Or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance” and the co-producer of last year’s “The Revenant.”

“The Delegation” is about the 1978 visit to Jim Jones’s cult in Guyana that became the catalyst for hundreds of deaths, including the shooting of a congressman and NBC journalists and a mass suicide by cult members, who drank cyanide-laced grape Kool-Aid. “Dead Pigs” captures modern China and the transformations of the landscape and society that have resulted as thousands of dead pigs float down the Huangpu River. “Biggz” is about a 350-pound rapper from Detroit, who makes ends meet by babysitting and dealing drugs. 

Mr. Dinelaris will also present a master class on April 9 at 5:30 p.m., offering his insights into the process that shapes and molds a successful and award-winning script, illustrated with film clips. Registration is required and can be made through the festival’s website.

According to David Nugent, the festival’s artistic director, script submissions for the Screenwriters Lab were up more than 40 percent this year. In a previous announcement, HIFF said a new fund named for Melissa Mathison, a screenwriter for films such as “E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial,” is supporting the participation of screenwriters as well as bringing programs such as the master class to the public.  

For those old enough to remember the psychedelic ’60s, and those who wish they could, Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will present “A Night at the Fillmore East: A Musical Tribute to the Legendary Venue” on Saturday at 8 p.m. 

Bill Graham’s theater, located on Manhattan’s Lower East Side from 1968 to 1971, was a spin-off of his Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, later renamed Fillmore West. Joe Lauro, a musician, filmmaker, and music archivist who conceived the program, said, “We’re going to re-create what a night at the Fillmore East was like. They always had three bands. A single show I went to in 1970 had the Grateful Dead, Arthur Lee’s Love, and the Allman Brothers.”

Saturday’s program will pay tribute to the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Janis Joplin, and Jefferson Airplane. “We have some very serious musicians who are taking on the roles of these icons,” said Mr. Lauro. “Joe Cumia does a brilliant Jimi Hendrix Experience show; we have Amber Ferrari, who’s known for her show ‘Joplin’s Pearl,’ and I’ve put together the Jefferson Airplane group. Carolyn Droscoksi is doing Grace Slick. When I closed my eyes during rehearsal, I thought Grace was in the theater.”

Other Airplane musicians include George Feaster, who is taking Marty Balin’s role, Dave Giacone, Dan Koontz, and Christopher Walsh, a writer for The Star, who is playing the Paul Kantner part with a 12-string electric guitar and some of the vocals. “Jack Casady, the Airplane’s bass player, was one of my first idols,” said Mr. Lauro, “so I get to really dig into his sound.”

Another highlight of the Fillmore concerts were the psychedelic light shows that provided backdrops for the bands. Gary Hygom, Bay Street’s managing director for production, will create a light show in the Fillmore style. “Gary is the art director for all these shows,” said Mr. Lauro. “I never ask him, and I never know what to expect, but I’m always pleasantly surprised. For our Beatles show, he re-created the Ed Sullivan set.”

In addition to his staging, Mr. Hygom has worked closely with Mr. Lauro on conceptualizing all six of this year’s rock ’n’ roll shows. “Gary and I get together late summer and come up with a list of ideas we think we can pull off and that people would be interested in.” The final program of the series, scheduled for May 7, will be devoted to great music from the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Tickets for Saturday’s show are $30.

Those who prefer their entertainment in a slightly less hallucinogenic key can catch a new “All Star Comedy Show” at Bay Street tomorrow at 8 p.m. Joseph Vecsey, the longtime series host, will welcome the guest comedians Nore Davis, Neko White, and Kase Raso. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 the day of the show.

The Montauk Library will present “Sei Pupi a Gerusalemme” (Six Puppets at Jerusalem), an original folk opera by Terra Sangue Mare, an ensemble dedicated to the presentation of traditional and contemporary Sicilian folk and roots music, on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The folk opera is inspired by Renaissance Italian literature and the Sicilian puppet tradition. The performers are Michela Musolino, a vocalist, and Daniele Turchetti and Michael Delia, musicians who play such unusual instruments as the mbira, the ektara, the bandoneon, the tamburo, and the organetto.

The group will narrate in English and perform songs and dialogue in Sicilian. In addition, they will describe the traditions of the Sicilian puppets but, due to their size, will not use them in their performance. A question-and-answer session will follow.

The Rising Stars piano series will return to the Southampton Cultural Center on Saturday at 7 p.m. with a concert by the Anderson-Roe Duo. Since Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe formed their musical partnership in 2002 as Juilliard students, they have appeared on NPR and MTV, toured worldwide as orchestra recitalists and soloists, released four albums, and created 25 music videos.

Praised by San Francisco Classical Voice as “the most dynamic duo of this generation,” their goal is to make classical music a relevant and powerful force in society. The Southampton concert will include works by Mozart/Busoni, Rachmaninoff, Piazzolla/Anderson-Roe, and Brahms/Anderson-Roe. Tickets are $20, but admission is free for students under 21.

In conjunction with the exhibition “Lindsay Morris: You Are You,” the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill will present a discussion between Ms. Morris, whose exhibition is focused on gender-variant youth, and Nicholas Sweeney, the director of “My Transgender Summer Camp,” their collaborative film based on the show and on her book, “You Are You,” tomorrow at 6 p.m. Excerpts from the film will be shown as part of the program, which is free to members and the general public.

Tap dancing will be on the menu at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. when Brian Seibert, a dance critic and features writer for The New York Times, will discuss his book “What the Eye Hears: A History of Tap.” Considered the definitive history of tap dancing, it was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2015. It was named a best book of 2015 by The Economist and Publishers Weekly.

To get the audience in the mood, the library’s tap class will perform “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” before the talk.

Madoo in Manhattan, the third annual Robert Dash Garden Design lecture, will take place on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Cosmopolitan Club. The guest speaker will be Fernando Caruncho, a Spanish landscape architect whose minimalist landscapes are noted for their use of light and their harmonious geometrical patterns punctuated by sculptural plantings.

Tickets are $150, $125 for members, and advance reservations, which are required, can be made at the conservancy’s website.

The Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival will begin accepting submissions tomorrow for the 2016 festival, which will take place at Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater from Dec. 1 through Dec. 4. Applications can be found online at withoutabox.com, filmfreeway.com, and the festival’s website.

The producers of the film “Barney’s Wall,” about the creative vision and legacy of Barney Rosset, need money to cover post-production costs.

The film focuses on the man and the mural he made in his later years on the main wall of his apartment and office space in the East Village. He worked on the mural until the last days of his life in 2012. In the years following his death, the apartment was sold to developers, and it was clear that the mural would not survive there. 

An effort, described in The Star in 2014, was made to save the wall and, if not, to at least record the interaction of Mr. Rosset’s friends with it as they said goodbye. The filmmakers, Sandy Gotham Meehan and Williams Cole, promise an exciting surprise ending, which may bode well for preservation. In the meantime, the producers need at least $75,000 to complete the film and double that to bring in top professionals, commission a soundtrack, and have the work completed in time for a fall premiere and screenings at film festivals.

Those interested in helping can go to the Kickstarter website for “Barney’s Wall.” There are a number of unique rewards, particularly suitable to the project and its subject beginning at the $25 level. The effort ends on April 23.
