Bay Street Theater announced a series of new programs and changes last week. Some might appear cosmetic — a new name (Bay Street Theater and Sag Harbor Center for the Arts), a new mission statement, and a newly designed logo — but all are in line with two objectives: to make the theater a more inclusive place, while at the same time raising money for the nonprofit organization.

The next alumni concerts of the Perlman Music Program will take place tomorrow and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Clark Arts Center on Shelter Island.

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill is introducing a series of lunchtime talks called “Brain Food: Conversations on Art,” led by Alicia Longwell, the museum’s chief curator. Each talk promises an informal gathering where participants can listen to an hourlong illustrated lecture and conversation on the museum’s exhibitions, publications, and artists who have work in the collection.

Maria Bacardi, a Cuban-born singer who lives in East Hampton, will perform “Romance and Rosés” at the Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack next Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. as part of the winery’s Twilight Thursdays series. David Oquendo will accompany her on guitar.

Judith Hudson at Tripoli

“Judith Hudson: A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will open at Tripoli Gallery in Southampton tomorrow and remain on view through July 13. The exhibition consists of a series of watercolors that explore the humorous, lusty, and quixotic sides of Shakespeare’s comedy. A reception will be held on Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m.

“Shakespeare is the master of one-liners,” said Ms. Hudson, who lives in Amagansett and New York City. “The flesh and fur and dreams and antics of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ are a bottomless resource, as are the digressions.”

The Hamptons International Film Festival SummerDocs series, hosted by Alec Baldwin at Guild Hall, kicks off Saturday with “Life Itself,” the first film to be made about the life of the late Roger Ebert, a film critic and media personality known for his work at The Chicago Sun-Times and on TV. After the screening, there will be a discussion with Chaz Ebert, Mr. Ebert’s widow.

“Travesties,” a Tony Award-winning play by Tom Stoppard, will begin performances on Tuesday at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. The play, directed by Gregory Boyd, is a partly imagined and partly historical realization of prominent figures living in Zurich, Switzerland, during World War I.

There is a lot of white space in the work of both Matt Kenny and Adam Marnie, on view at Halsey Mckay gallery in East Hampton. Sometimes it seems the art is an extension of the wall, a way of lying on top of it while gathering its support. In the case of Mr. Marnie, it is the wall, playing with our notions of positive and negative space.

PechaKucha Night Hamptons will return to the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill for its eighth iteration tomorrow at 6 p.m. Consisting of rapid-fire presentations on the theme of living creatively on the East End, the program features 10 speakers, each of whom shows 20 slides for 20 seconds each, yielding a presentation lasting six minutes and 40 seconds.

Fans of “Antiques Road Show” can take their own trash or treasures to St. Ann’s Episcopal Church in Bridgehampton on Saturday. The event, Antique Treasures, will allow participants to take up to three items that they simply love and want to know more about, or hate but have kept because Grandmother said it was of great value. Either way, for $30, attendees can learn the truth about their keepsakes, which can be anything from decorative and fine arts to jewelry, silver, and small antiques.

Amanda Green’s spring “Trunk Show,” a performance by an ensemble of Broadway stars of songs cut from three of Ms. Green’s musicals, will take place June 23 at 7 p.m. at Birdland in Manhattan.

    “Unmasking the Muse: Inspiration in the Arts,” a panel discussion with Laurie Anderson, Andrea Cote, and Maria Maciak moderated by Marion Wolberg Weiss, will take place Saturday at 5:30 p.m. at the Pollock-Krasner House in Springs.

    Ms. Anderson, who has a house in Springs, is an internationally renowned experimental performance artist, composer, and musician whose work has extended the boundaries of performance for four decades.

To be a vital regional theater in America, the person in charge must be willing to take chances, to mine the theatrical landscape for new works he or she believes in. Scott Schwartz, the new artistic director at the Bay Street Theatre, has done just that, and has come up with a diamond in the rough in “Conviction,” a play by Carey Crim, with Mr. Schwartz directing. It received its world premiere on Saturday night.

“Occasional Music for Early Winds and Plucked Strings,” a free concert by William Feasley and Sarah Weiner, will take place at the Montauk Library Saturday evening at 7:30.

Mr. Feasley, the first guitarist to be awarded the Peabody Conservatory’s Artist Diploma, will play the theorbo, a long-necked string instrument, and a 19th-century guitar, in addition to the classical guitar.

The concert will be held outside on the terrace. Tickets are $10, free for members.

On Saturday morning at 11, Guild Hall will host “Rothko Revisited: A Panel Discussion.” The talk will be presented in conjunction with “Red,” the two-person drama about the Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko, currently playing in the John Drew Theater through June 8. Donald Blinken, former president of the Rothko Foundation; Stephen Hamilton, director of the production; Ben Heller, an art collector, and Christophe de Menil will make up the panel.

William King

At Duck Creek Farm

The John Little Society will host an installation of three outdoor sculptures by William King, the noted East Hampton artist, at Duck Creek Farm in Springs from June 29 through the month of July.

The Barnes Landing Association will hold its 13th annual Writers and Artists Showcase, in memory of Anna Mirabai Lytton, on Saturday from 2 to 3:30 p.m., at its meetinghouse in Springs. The event features the writing, artwork, and performance art of members of the community.

Andrea Cote is a multimedia artist whose work includes photography, prints, paintings, sculptures, performances, and installations. “I do work that invites people to participate, that’s very public, but then I also have work that’s very private, done in the studio,” she said last week.

“God of Carnage‚” by Yasmina Reza, opened at the Hampton Theatre Company in Quogue last week, the end of a standout season of productions that managed to be both funny and provocative at the same time.
