In recognition of National Cancer Survivors Month, there will be a celebration at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital's Phillips Family Cancer Center on June 1 from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

Mary Schoenlein of the late, lamented Mary’s Marvelous is back in the kitchen—her own kitchen—creating and testing recipes, some new, some tried and true, for a new cookbook.

Summer benefit parties are back with a vengeance, enlivening weekends from early June through late August, with big tickets like Bay Street, the Parrish Art Museum, LongHouse Reserve, the Watermill Center, Guild Hall, and Stony Brook Southampton Hospital only the tip of the fund-raising iceberg.

Bay Street Theater’s summer season will open with “Double Helix,” a musical about the race to discover the structure of DNA, and Rosalind Franklin, the scientist whose important contribution has been overlooked by history.
