Jackie Hoffman Solo

Jackie Hoffman, an actress, comedian, and singer featured in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building,” will bring Bay Street’s Music Mondays series to a close on Monday at 8 p.m.

An Emmy nominee for the role of Mamacita in FX’s “Feud: Bette and Joan,” her other television credits include “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “30 Rock,” “The Good Wife,” and “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies.”

On Broadway she has co-starred in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “On the Town,” “The Addams Family,” and “Hairspray,” for which she won a Theatre World Award.

An all-new show, “A Miserable Evening With Jackie Hoffman,” promises original songs and tragicomedy. Tickets are $99.99 to $129.99.

SummerFest Benefit

SummerFest, a benefit for the Southampton Arts Center, will take place on its grounds on Saturday from 6 to 10:30 p.m. Christine Mack will receive the 2025 Champions of the Arts Award for exceptional contributions. The benefit includes cocktails, dinner, and dancing. Tickets start at $1,250.

The Latin Groove

Los Hacheros, a Brooklyn band devoted to the golden age of Latin music, will perform on Shelter Island as part of Sylvester Manor’s Creekside concert series on Saturday at 5 p.m. Their beat revives folkloric styles like son montuno, guaracha, and salsa, often combining them with bomba, a fiery rhythm from the mountains of Puerto Rico.

Of the band’s debut album, “Pilon,” Wax Poetics said, “The groove to this music is deep,” while City Paper said the “solid arrangements and lively original songs have impressed old-school salseros and young music fans alike.”

Tickets are $44.52. The gates will open at 4; guests have been encouraged to take beach chairs, blankets, and picnics. A bar truck will be on hand to sell wine and beer.

Shakespeare Alfresco

The Hip to Hip Theatre Company, a nonprofit that stages free productions of popular plays in parks throughout Queens, the Bronx, Jersey City, and Southampton, will return to Agawam Park this weekend with two of Shakespeare’s classics. “Hamlet” will be performed Friday evening at 7:30, and “The Tempest” on Saturday at the same time.

Presented with the Southampton Cultural Center, each program is preceded half an hour beforehand by Kids and the Classics, an interactive children’s workshop designed for ages 4 to 12.
