The last time the Irish playwright Conor McPherson had major play across the pond, it was in 2006, with “The Seafarer,” which I had the good luck to see on Broadway. In many ways it is Mr. McPherson’s signature play, including all of his classic elements and concerns: humor, drinking, the Irish character, pipe dreams, the supernatural, and a good amount of blarney. It was largely that play that prompted Ben Brantley of The New York Times to call Mr. McPherson “quite possibly the finest playwright of his generation.”

Gayle Kirschenbaum spent a long time figuring out how to forgive her mother for what she has described as a difficult upbringing, throughout which her mother was sharp-tongued, critical, and lacking in empathy and sensitivity.

It wasn’t just a dream. Music for Montauk is back again this year, and in the capable hands of Lilah Gosman and Milos Repicky, who rebooted the popular classical music series last year with some off-season events and a week of musical surprises in August. The future of the concerts had been uncertain after the death of the founder, Ruth Widder, in 2013.

Stephen Antonakos, a neon pioneer from the 1960s onward, discovered several different styles within that medium from that period until his death in 2013. From outlines of simple geometric shapes to complicated overlays on painted surfaces, and late work with neon-backlit painted wood assemblages, he found in the colorful gas tubing a visual language to explore relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms.

“Early on I worked from life,” Virva Hinnemo said in her Springs studio, surrounded by decidedly abstract works executed with acrylic paint on cardboard. “I still use a sketchbook and draw from life when I have a chance because I enjoy it. But even though the work has become abstract, it’s really rooted in spatial issues. I think life and the outdoors, whether the woods or the ocean, all of that seeps in.”

The Watermill Center will be the site of an open rehearsal by Accion Residente, an experimental Chilean performance company, on Saturday afternoon from 3 to 5.
