Returning to Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor this weekend is the All Star Comedy series; also Julie Andrews and Emma Hamilton with a new children's book.
Chris Clarke, winner of the 2022 Laugh After Dark Comedy Festival's comedy club portion, will host Sergio Chicon and Ken Krantz on Saturday at 8 p.m. Mr. Clarke is a writer/producer of Rob Schneider's film "Daddy Daughter Trip," and has a streaming show on Tubi.
Mr. Chicon has appeared on MTV, Comedy Central, BET on Blast, and "Live at Gotham on AXS TV. Mr. Krantz has his own show every month at the Gotham Comedy Club and has performed at the New York Comedy Festival.
Tickets are $35 to $45.
Ms. Andrews and Ms. Hamilton, her daughter (and one of Bay Street's founders), will be on hand Sunday at 3 p.m. to talk about their new book, "The Enchanted Symphony," to be published Tuesday by Abrams Books for Young Readers. A question-and-answer session will follow their discussion.
The book, with illustrations by Elly MacKay, was inspired by a real event. During the height of Covid, when theaters and other cultural venues were shuttered, a string quartet performed a concert at the Gran Theatre del Liceu in Barcelona to an audience of 2,292 plants -- (yes, plants, one on every seat in the hall) -- as a celebration of art, music, and theater.
In "The Enchanted Symphony," when a mysterious fog turns a once lively village into a dull and silent place, a boy's simple melody for an unusual audience reminds everyone what matters most, even in the darkest times.
Tickets are $25 per seat, $45 including a pre-autographed copy of the book. For a donation of $150, which includes seat and book, $80 will go toward the theater's Outreach Program, which covers the costs for those who cannot afford to attend.
