When Mark Borghi saw an empty space in Sag Harbor next to Flying Point Surf Boutique was available this spring, he did not hesitate to lease it. It is now the Sag Harbor sister to his Bridgehampton space and the current home to "The Silence Perpetuates."

An article described the discovery of a "forgotten trove" of artworks with values estimated at $100,000 to $1 million at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, the sale of which was destined to "bring them lifesaving cash" and help save them from millions of dollars of debt.

If there is a small silver lining during the widespread shift to online cultural programming necessitated by Covid-19, it is, as Andrea Grover, Guild Hall’s executive director, says, “Seating is limitless in the virtual realm.” Which is a good thing, because Sunday’s staged reading of “Same Time, Next Year” with Julianne Moore and Alec Baldwin would surely be a sellout if it were a live production.
