Two Favorites At Bay Street

Two popular entertainers will return to the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor over the Thanksgiving weekend: Karen Akers and the Paper Bag Players.

Ms. Akers, one of America's most successful cabaret stars, will give three performances, tomorrow at 7 p.m. and on Saturday at 7 and 9 p.m. She will be accompanied on piano by Michael Abene.

The statuesque chanteuse, who has performed throughout America and Europe as well as in Russia, continues to carry the torch lit by Marlene Dietrich and Edith Piaf. She appeared on Broadway as one of the original stars of the musical "Grand Hotel," and made her debut in 1982 in "Nine," both directed by Tommy Tune.

Paper Bag Players

To round out the Thanksgiving celebration for children, the Paper Bag Players will present their latest show, "The Horrible Horrendous Hideous Haircut!" on Saturday at 1 p.m. and again at 3 p.m.

The show features a haircut of tremendous proportions as its central theme, along with such sidelines as a postman who sprouts butterfly wings and a pizza that delivers itself.

For 39 years, this company has provided children's theater, addressing such issues as getting along with siblings, family vacations, doing homework, and making friends. The shows combine short funny plays, freewheeling dances, and lively songs.

Tickets to both events are available from the box office.
