The Art of Song Parlor Jazz Series will resume Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Bridgehampton Museum’s archive build­ing with “Journeys,” a concert by Darcey, a North Fork-based singer, composer, arranger, and educator who has been performing for 35 years.

The programs are hosted by Jane Hastay, a pianist, and Peter Martin Weiss, a bassist, both of whom will accompany Darcey along with John Cataletto on drums and Morris Goldberg on saxophone. Tickets are $25, $15 for members. More information can be found at artofsong.org.

Aspiring writers, directors, and producers have been invited to attend an open classroom-open house by the directors of the new M.F.A. program established by Stony Brook University and Killer Films, on Wednesday at 5 p.m. at the Stony Brook Manhattan campus, 387 Park Avenue South.

Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler, co-founding partners of Killer Films, will be joined by Elizabeth Wood and Douglas McGrath, independent director-writer-producers. Those interested in attending can R.S.V.P. to [email protected].

Guild Hall has announced the election of three new trustees to its board. Florence Fabricant, Alan Levin, and John Shea were elected on Feb. 25.

Ms. Fabricant has regular columns in The New York Times on food and wine and writes features for the paper as well as travel pieces and restaurant news. Mr. Levin was until 2013 the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Endo Health Solutions, and before that an executive at Pfizer for many years. He has degrees from Princeton University and New York University’s Stern School of Business. Mr. Shea is a senior partner at the regional firm Twomey, Latham, Shea, Kelley, Dubin, and Quartararo and was a White House counsel to the Council on Environmental Quality earlier in his career.

Two well-known bands on the South Fork’s music scene will join forces on Saturday for a concert of rootsy Americana music.

Black and Sparrow, led by Klyph Black and John Sparrow, and Hopefully Forgiven, fronted by Telly Karoussos and Brad Penuel, will perform at 8 p.m. at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.

Mr. Black and Mr. Sparrow have been collaborating for more than 20 years, both in the band Rumor Has It and as Black and Sparrow, which began life as a duo. They have opened for such artists as the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Mick Taylor, Taj Mahal, Hot Tuna, and the Subdudes.

One year ago, Black and Sparrow followed up their 1995 debut, “Friend and Partner,” with the release of “Second Time Around,” by then having added the musicians Randolph A. Hudson III, Mike Mazzaraco, and James Benard. The latter release recalls an eclectic mix of influences including the Grateful Dead, the Band, and Bob Dylan, as well as other artists who have thrived since the 1960s and ’70s.

“The record sold pretty well,” Mr. Black said of “Second Time Around.” “It started off hot and we’re still selling it.” Tracks from the album have been featured on WPPB and WEHM, he said, as well as on radio stations farther afield. “We’re working on some new songs,” he said, promising three new selections on Saturday.

Hopefully Forgiven’s debut release, “Play On,” was recorded in a barn in Sag Harbor. Saturday’s concert, Mr. Karoussos said, will serve to launch an intensive schedule of performances lasting through the summer and beyond. The band, which also features Ben Goodale and Bryan Beyer, describes its sound as a “hard drivin’, mellow vibin’, harmony-soaked roller coaster cocktail of 100 years of American music and spirits.”

The double bill came together, Mr. Black said, through his previous performances at Bay Street and subsequent conversations with Gary Hygam, the theater’s managing director for production. “I had always told Telly that we would be a good show together,” he said. “The two bands complement each other. I really dig what they do, and love the fact that they sing, their vocals are big. I asked Gary if we could do a double bill, and he went for it. I called Telly, they were psyched to do it, and here we are.”

Mr. Karoussos called the concert “a good opportunity to highlight music that’s being written and performed locally.” He and Mr. Black, he said, have long been acquainted. “He’s helped me out a lot, sat in with me on gigs, and I’ve always thought he was one of the greatest guys and greatest musicians I’ve ever met. Our styles are somewhat complementary, so this is a good opportunity for us both.”

Hopefully Forgiven will perform at the Lower Hudson Valley Farm Fest in Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., on April 26. “This is our big launch,” Mr. Karoussos said of the Bay Street concert. “We want to make this a blowout, and have been rehearsing our asses off to make it great.” The bands will perform separate sets, which will be followed, he said, by “a big jamboree of both bands.”

Tickets for Black and Sparrow/Hopefully Forgiven are $20 and available at baystreet.org or by calling the theater’s box office at 725-9500.

The concert will be preceded by another performance of the Americana, roots-rock variety. The Weight, a five-piece ensemble featuring Jim Weider and Randy Ciarlante from the Band, Brian Mitchell and Byron Isaacs of the Levon Helm Band, and Marty Grebb, who worked with Rick Danko and Richard Manuel of the Band, will take the stage tomorrow night at 8. Tickets are $35 for side sections and $45 for center.

“Down” at Harper’s Books

Harper’s Books in East Hampton will open its 2015 exhibition season on Saturday with “This Side Down,” an exhibition of paintings and photographs by Matthew King that will run through June 2. A reception will take place Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m.

Working with shaped panels of pressed wood and squares or rectangles of aluminum, Mr. King creates objects that straddle painting and sculpture, abstraction and representation, the industrial and the handmade. Bold geometrical zigzag patterns that suggest both Minimalism and Op Art are crossbred with fragments of images from vintage advertisements, newspapers, and magazines.

During the run of the exhibition, a video installation by Clark McLean Graham, an artist with whom Mr. Smith has collaborated, will be on view in the front window.

Open Rehearsal at Watermill

The Watermill Center will hold an open rehearsal of work by Kristen Foote, a former resident artist at the center, on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. Ms. Foote, who is based in New York City, is a principal dancer with both the Limon Dance Company and Dance Heginbotham and has also performed with the Mark Morris Dance Group, the Riedel Dance Theater, and the Radio City Rockettes. She has extensive teaching experience, having conducted Limon master classes at colleges and dance companies throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The event is free, but reservations are required.

The center has also announced that applications are now being accepted for the 2016 residency program, which gives artists the opportunity to utilize the center as a home and a workshop to create and develop their work. More information, applications, and reservations are available on the center’s website.

Pollocks in Venice

Two Jackson Pollock-related exhibitions will open at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice on April 23. “Jackson Pollock’s ‘Mural’: Energy Made Visible,” organized by David Anfam, an authority on Abstract Expressionism, centers on “Mural,” commissioned by Guggenheim in 1943.

The largest painting Pollock ever created, it anticipated the artist’s classic poured abstractions. The exhibition, which will be on view through Nov. 16, will also include Pollock’s newly restored “Alchemy” and works by Lee Krasner, David Smith, and Robert Motherwell.

“Charles Pollock: A Retrospective,” which will be open through Sept. 14, documents the career of Jackson’s oldest brother, who died in 1988 at the age of 86. Organized by Philip Rylands, director of the Guggenheim Collection, it will include artwork and documents from the Charles Pollock Archive in Paris and other public and private collections. Early letters, photographs, and sketches will document the relationship between the two brothers.

Nature Preserves on Canvas

The Wednesday Group, plein-air painters who meet every Wednesday to work outdoors on the East End, will exhibit paintings of Nature Conservancy preserves from Shelter Island to Montauk on Saturday and Sunday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs. A reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m.

Participating artists are Bobbie Braun, Anna Franklin, Peter Gumpel, Jean Mahoney, Deb Palmer, Alyce Peifer, Gene Samuelson, Christine Chew Smith, Frank Sofo, Pam Vossen, and Dan Weid­mann. A portion of all sales will be donated to the Nature Conservancy.

New Bridgehampton Gallery

Bridgehampton is home to a new art gallery. The White Room Gallery is to some extent an evolution of the Crazy Monkey Gallery, the Amagansett cooperative that closed last year. The White Room’s founding partners, Andrea McCafferty, Sally Breen, and Daniel Schoen­­heimer, were members of the co-op.

The new space will exhibit an eclectic blend of contemporary art by both well-known and emerging artists. A group show, which includes work by Jim Gingerich, Barbara Groot, Richard Mothes, Kat O’Neill, and many others, will remain on view through April 28, with a grand opening scheduled for May 9.

Down Under Out East

Sara Nightingale Gallery will present work by two Australian-born artists living in New York in “Conditional/Return” beginning tomorrow with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m.

Zev Jonas and Simone Douglas examine relationships among humans, objects, animals, and their surrounding environments. Mr. Jonas works in nature photography using themes of isolation and connection. Ms. Douglas will present a nautical sculpture referencing an upcoming Australian desert installation on a larger scale, involving melting ice and a wake of wildflowers.

The Australian Consulate in New York City has donated Australian beverages for the opening. The exhibition will be on view through May 18.

Group Show at Ille Arts

Ille Arts in Amagansett will present “Ubiquity,” a group exhibition organized by Saskia Friedrich, from Saturday through April 27, with an opening reception set for Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. Participating artists, who work in a variety of mediums, are Maeve D’Arcy, Jim Drain, Sabra Moon Elliot, Bill Saylor, and Ms. Friedrich.

According to Ms. Friedrich, “The show reflects the cultural, philosophical, and existential pluralism that exists today and invokes a simulacrum of the sublime within our consumerist society.”

New at Tripoli

Tripoli Gallery in Southampton will present “Memory Palace,” an immersive environment by Jonathan Beer, from Monday through May 25. The artist will be on site from Monday through May 1, transforming the gallery space with painting, sculpture, and installation. An opening reception on May 2 from 6 to 8 p.m. will mark the conclusion of his residency and the beginning of the completed exhibition.

The gallery has also announced the upcoming opening, on April 25, of Tripoli Gallery East Hampton, which will be located at 87 Newtown Lane. Glenn Horowitz Bookseller will continue to operate on the second floor of the building.

David Slater at Marcelle

“Something Old, Something New,” an exhibition of mixed-media works on canvas by David Slater, will open at the Peter Marcelle Project in Southampton with a reception on Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. and will remain on view through April 26.

Because their imagery borrows from his wide-ranging life experiences, Mr. Slater, who has lived in Sag Harbor for more than 30 years, describes the works in the exhibition as “memoirs.” Each painting is packed with symbols, dreams, memories, and religious iconography.

A percentage of the proceeds from the exhibition will benefit the Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum’s capital campaign.

Life of an Orchid

“Silent Journey,” an exhibition of paintings by Marissa Bridge, will open Sunday at Dodds and Eder Home in Sag Harbor and remain on view through June 15. A reception for the artist will take place May 2 from 4 to 6 p.m.

The exhibition will feature a series of 36 paintings that capture the development of a phalaenopsis orchid from beginning to end. Ms. Bridge, who lives in New York City and East Quogue, has written, “My reason for portraying the life cycle of the orchid is to understand life through observing nature.”

Farm to Canvas

Vegetables will be the subjects of an exhibition of paintings by Barbara Thomas that opens today at Estia’s Little Kitchen in Sag Harbor, where it will remain on view through June 1. An opening will happen Saturday afternoon from 4 to 6.

Ms. Thomas, who lives in Springs, has painted nature throughout her career, but she recently began to focus on vegetables grown in her garden, abstracting them by placing them against solid backgrounds rather than in a garden or landscape to make them stand out and give them a graphic look.

Art Groove at Ashawagh

The fifth annual Art Groove will take place at Ashawagh Hall in Springs from noon until 11 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

A reception from 6 to 11 on Saturday will feature a performance by Out East, a fusion rock band, and a dance party with music by D.J. G-Funk. “Hans Van de Bovenkamp: In His Own Words,” a documentary about the sculptor, will be screened Sunday at 3 p.m.

The exhibition will include artwork by Beth Barry, Laura Benjamin, Barbara Bilotta, Nadine Daskaloff, Anahi DeCanio, Pearl Golden, Eileen Hickey-Hulme, John Jinks, Geralyne Lew­andowski, Michael McDowell, Joyce Raimondo, Charles Waller, and Mark Zimmerman.

Live Cinema at Parrish

Sam Green, a documentary filmmaker, and Brent Green, a visual artist who also works with film, will present a live cinema performance at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill tomorrow at 6 p.m. The evening of projected short films will include narration by each artist and music by Brendan Canty, James Canty, and Brent Green.

Both Mr. Greens (they are not related) consider the synthesis of two mediums — performance and traditional film — as a way to enhance viewers’ experience of both cinema and storytelling. Tickets are $10, free for members, students, and children.

The Parrish will offer four workshops for adults during April, beginning Monday with life drawing with Linda Capello, a four-session class that will meet Mondays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Other classes are Art of Fiction with Jennifer Senft, Materials and Methods with Eric Dever, and Drawing the Museum with Edgar Papazian. More detailed information is available at parrishart.org.

Abstraction in Southampton

“Audacity of Abstraction,” a group exhibition organized by Arlene Bujese, will open Tuesday at the Levitas Gallery at the Southampton Cultural Center and will remain on view through May 18. A reception will be held April 18 from 4 to 6 p.m.

The show will include paintings by Shari Abramson, Gerson Leiber, Roy Nicholson, and Dan Welden, and sculpture by Dennis Leri. According to Ms. Bujese, the exhibition’s title refers to the risk an artist takes when creating works that might contain references to reality but are essentially conceptual, intuitive, and non-objective.

Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor will present “A Night to Rock” with G.E. Smith, a guitar master and former “Saturday Night Live” bandleader, and David Broza, an acclaimed Israeli singer-songwriter, tomorrow at 8 p.m.

Mr. Smith, who lives in Amagansett, was the lead guitarist for Hall and Oates from 1979 to 1985 and for Bob Dylan’s touring band from 1988 to 1990. The roster of musicians who performed with the band on “Saturday Night Live” during his tenure includes Eddie Van Halen, Keith Richards, Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Edmunds, Johnny Winter, and many more.

He has released solo albums, established a record label, Green Mirror Music, with his wife, Taylor Barton, who is also a musician, and served as music director for countless concerts, including Bob Dylan’s 30th anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden.

Mr. Broza was born in Israel, where he lives today, and educated in England and Spain. His music is a fusion of those different cultures, ranging from flamenco-flavored rhythmic and percussion techniques to whirlwind finger-picking to rock ’n’ roll.

Mr. Broza performs internationally and has released 20 CDs. His most recent, “East Jerusalem-West Jerusa­lem,” was made in the Palestinian studio Sabreen, in East Jerusalem, with Palestinian, Israeli, and American musicians.

Tickets for the concert are $40 and can be purchased at baystreet.org.

Comedy will take over the Bay Street stage on Saturday at 8 p.m. when Joseph Vecsey will host the All-Star Comedy Show, a recurring program that features up-and-coming comedians.

Saturday’s program will include Mike Brown, Nore Davis, and Yannis Pappas, in addition to Mr. Vecsey. Mr. Brown, a comedian and writer from Harlem, has performed at such comedy venues as Caroline’s Comedy Club, Stand Up NY, and Laugh Lounge.

Mr. Davis has appeared on Comedy Central, MTV, and Gotham Comedy Live on AXS-TV and has acted on “Boardwalk Empire,” “Inside Amy Schumer,” and “Last Week Tonight.”

Mr. Pappas was the first comedian to do stand-up on the new “Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon. He had a half-hour special on Comedy Central and tours the world with his stand-up act.

A regular host at shows in New York City and at Bay Street, Mr. Vecsey performs at venues throughout the metropolitan area. He also hosts The Call Back, a podcast on which he discusses the art and business of comedy with other noted comedians.

Tickets are $20 and also available on the Bay Street website.

“All My Sons,” the 1947 play by Arthur Miller that launched the playwright’s career, will be presented at Guild Hall from June 9 through June 28 with Alec Baldwin and Laurie Metcalf in the leading roles. Stephen Hamilton, co-founder of Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, will direct.

“This was a role that Alec was always looking for,” according to Barbara Jo Howard, Guild Hall’s director of marketing and communications. “Steve and Alec were batting that idea around for several years until the timing finally clicked into place.”

The play, directed by Elia Kazan on Broadway, was based on a true story about the approval of defective airplane engines by the Wright Aeronautical Corporation and Army inspectors.

Mr. Baldwin will play Joe Keller, who was exonerated after being charged with shipping damaged aircraft cylinder heads that led to the deaths of 21 pilots. He blamed his partner and former neighbor, Steve Deever, who was ultimately convicted and sent to prison. Joe’s wife, Kate, portrayed by Ms. Metcalf, knows her husband is guilty but lives in denial.

The play focuses on the Keller and Deever families, who are haunted by the crime that hangs over them. The confrontations that ensue lead to the revelation of a shameful secret that has dire consequences for everyone.

Miller wrote “All My Sons” after the failure of his first play, “The Man Who Had All the Luck,” which closed after four performances on Broadway. According to the playwright, the success of “Sons” “made it possible to dream of daring more and risking more.”

Each year, the summer theater program is developed by a committee of theater experts who may or may not be members of Guild Hall’s board, who work with the department heads, Ruth Appelhof, the executive director, and Ms. Howard.

“We meet and talk about what we think we should be showing and what we think we can show,” said Ms. Howard. Timing is crucial, she explained, since it involves determining the best time for a program and whether the talent is available at that time. The committee considers the theater world at large, the local community, and what would bring people in to the community.

Another landmark of the summer program will be a show by the Beach Boys, who will perform on July 3 at 7 p.m. Though it will be primarily a fund-raiser, with dinner to follow and tickets priced at $1,000 and up, a number of performance-only tickets, starting at $145, will be available.

The theme of this year’s Garden as Art program will be farm-to-table, with visits to select estate properties that produce not only lush gardens but also sustainable harvests of organic produce. Several also raise livestock. The panel discussion, to be moderated by Brian Halweil, editor of Edible East End, will include Kate Baldwin of Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett and Tony Piazza, an East End landscape designer.

Other theater highlights include “On and Off the Runway,” a three-part series organized by Pamela Fiori, former editor of Town and Country, who will interview notable fashion icons; performances by the New York City Ballet and Ballet Hispanico; an evening with David Sedaris; the return of “Stirring the Pot: Conversations With Culinary Celebrities,” with Gregory Zakarian kicking off the series, and the Big Apple Circus.

While the complete program is still in formation, details about most of the events can be found at guildhall.org.

In the wake of Jason Alexander’s departure from Bay Street Theater’s “Other People’s Money” to replace Larry David in his Broadway show “Fish in the Dark,” the theater has had to do some tweaking of its summer season.

“Other People’s Money,” which was to run from June 23 to July 26, will no longer be presented, and two new productions will take its place. “Five Presidents,” a drama by Rick Cleveland and directed by Mark Clements, will run from June 23 to July 12. It is set at Richard Nixon’s funeral, where the current and former presidents in attendance offer a glimpse into the private frustrations and public defeats of the office. The play will follow Alena Smith’s “The New Sincerity,” directed by Bob Balaban and running from May 26 to June 14.

After “Five Presidents,” Bay Street has added “The Darrell Hammond Project,” the self-told story of what made the comedian and impersonator who he is. The monologue is a blend of harrowing history, humor, emotion, and the impressions that made him a star of “Saturday Night Live.” It is directed by Christopher Ashley, who added supplied material along with Elizabeth Stein. It will run from July 16 to 26.

The season closes with “Grey Gardens,” a musical, from Aug. 4 to 30. Scott Frankel composed the music with lyrics by Michael Korie. The book is by Doug Wright and the play will be directed by Michael Wilson. The play is based on the 1975 documentary film by Albert and David Maysles about Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, the aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The play covers two time periods, 1941 and 1973, at Grey Gardens, their East Hampton home.

Tickets are currently available only for season subscriptions. Single-ticket sales will begin on May 15. More information about the productions and pricing as well as ticket sales can be found on the theater’s website.
