Santana Tribute

Stone Flower, a Santana tribute band, will perform the music of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artists on Saturday at 8 p.m. at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. “Stone Flower” was a cut on Santana’s “Caravanserai” album, which marked a pivotal point in the band’s evolution from Latin rock/blues to the Afro-Cuban sounds that define it today.

Formed in 2010, Stone Flower draws material for its concert from Santana’s entire 50-year career, which includes 25 studio albums, 10 Grammys, and three Latin Grammy Awards. Tickets to Saturday’s show are $30 to $35.

Bay Street Auditions

Bay Street Theater has announced Equity Principal auditions for its 2020 summer season, which will include “Windfall,” a comedy by Scooter Pietsch, “Dancing at Lughnasa,” Brian Friel’s memory play, and the musical adaptation of E.L. Doctorow’s “Ragtime.”

New York City auditions will take place on March 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Actors Equity Audition Center at 165 West 46th Street. Sag Harbor auditions will be held at Bay Street on March 7 from 9:30 to 5:30. Actors have been asked to prepare one contemporary monologue no longer than two minutes, and, for those who want to demonstrate singing skill, a few bars of music.

Complete information, including breakdowns, can be found on the theater’s website.

Rare Books Onscreen

HamptonsFilm’s Now Showing series will shift gears after a run of seven narrative features when it screens “The Booksellers,” a new documentary about the world of antiquarian book dealers, on Saturday at 6 p.m. at Guild Hall. Directed by D.W. Young, the film features interviews with some of the most important dealers in the business as well as such writers as Fran Lebowitz, Susan Orlean, Kevin Young, and Gay Talese.

The film also spotlights such unique objects as Leonardo da Vinci’s “Codex Leicester,” which Bill Gates bought in 1994 for more than $30 million, handwritten manuscripts by Jorge Luis Borges, and accounts of polar expeditions published with samples of wooly mammoth fur. The film, which had its premiere at the New York Film Festival in October, will be in theaters on March 6. Tickets are $15, $13 for members.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
