The show features art, in a variety of mediums, by South Fork 9th graders through 12th graders.

    The reception will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Free performances by East Hampton’s jazz band and the Bridgehampton School’s marimba ensemble, among others, are expected to start at 3 p.m. in the John Drew Theater. The art will be on view through April 15 on Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from noon to 5 p.m.

Workshops at CMEE

    The Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton is offering a series of drop-in workshops on Mondays and Fridays at 10 a.m. starting this week. Those who stop by will have an opportunity to participate in arts and crafts, cooking, and more.

A Neurotic Pea

    The Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre in Sag Harbor will put a new twist on a couple of old fairy tales on Saturday, with “The Princess, the Frog, and the Pea.” Combining three well-loved stories, Liz Joyce’s 30-minute production brings to life a princess, an unenchanted frog, and a neurotic pea.

    Performances will be at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. General admission is $10, $5 for children under 3.

    Tickets to the event cost $20, and there will be food, beverages, and music by Vivian and the Merrymakers.
