All plays and musicals are products of their time. The trick for a director is to find a way to contextualize them, or make them speak urgently to the here and now. Hats off, then, to Irving Berlin’s great musical “Annie Get Your Gun,” now at Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater.
The 12 linked stories in Joel Mowdy’s debut collection offer a 1990s tour of young lives in a place not so very far from the Hamptons, but very far indeed psychically and economically.

First, let’s talk about ribs. There are several different kinds available in most markets. Spareribs come from the underbelly, or lower rib cage, of the pig. A full slab contains 13 ribs and weighs about three pounds. Baby back ribs (not from piglets!) come from the upper front end of the rib cage and are smaller than spareribs. Country-style ribs come from the upper rear end of the rib cage. Regular spareribs are fattier, which keeps the meat tender and moist during long cooking. Baby backs and Country-style can be prone to drying out if you’re not careful.
