Terrence McNally’s “Master Class” at Bay Street is set in an opera master class run by Maria Callas, played by Vicki Lewis, who commands “the audience’s attention like a true diva of old.”

Bay Street Theater will honor Neil Patrick Harris, David Burtka, and Georgette Grier-Key at its gala, and host Patti LuPone for Music Mondays.

The Church will host Rameshwar Das, who co-authored three books with Ram Dass, and Mira Dougherty-Johnson and Jenny Xie, who will read from their works.

The celebrated writer Colson Whitehead will be at The Church in Sag Harbor for a conversation with Kevin Young of the Museum of African American History and Culture.
