Architecture Tour
The Southampton Arts Center’s annual architecture and design tour will feature the work of the architect Grosvenor Atterbury, many of whose early projects, including the original Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, were located on the East End.
The program will begin next Thursday at 10 a.m. with a brunch reception and a talk by Peter Pennoyer, co-author with Anne Walker of “The Architecture of Grosvenor Atterbury.” The talk will be followed by a tour of three private properties in Southampton designed by the architect. Tickets are $250 and up, and advance reservations are required.
The summer outdoor film series, in conjunction with the Hamptons International Film Festival, will return to the arts center Friday at 8:30 p.m. with a screening of “Star Wars IV — A New Hope,” the first film in the original “Star Wars” trilogy. The free screenings take place every Friday evening on the center’s west lawn. Refreshments and bar service will be available for purchase, and guests have been encouraged to take blankets and lawn chairs. The series will conclude on Aug. 30 with “Jaws.”
The center’s free World Music on the Steps series with the Jam Session of the Hamptons will feature Salieu Suso on kora and Ebrima Jassey on marimba on Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4 in front of the building on Job’s Lane.
Bill O’Connell Trio
The Bill O’Connell Jazz Trio will perform a free concert at the Montauk Library on Wednesday evening at 7. A jazz pianist, arranger, and music director, Mr. O’Connell has worked such legends as Mongo Santamaria, Valentin, Sonny Rollins, Chet Baker, and Gato Barbieri. His many albums include “After the Dust Settled,” which was recorded live in Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall in 2011, “Power of Two,” a duet with the saxophonist Steve Slagle, and “Heart Beat,” which he recorded in 2016 with the Latin Jazz All-Stars.
Mr. O’Connell will be accompanied by Andrea Brachfeld on flute and Santi Debriano on bass.
Classic Comedy
The Sag Harbor Cinema Arts Center’s “Really Funny” series will feature “His Girl Friday,” a 1940 adaptation of Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s play “The Front Page,” on Sunday at 6 p.m. at Pierson High School in Sag Harbor. In a twist on the play, which featured a male editor and a male reporter, the film adaptation, directed by Howard Hawks and written by Charles Lederer, has the male editor (Cary Grant) vying to keep his best reporter and ex-wife (Rosalind Russell) from leaving to remarry.
Molly Haskell, a film historian and critic, will lead a post-screening discussion moderated by Wendy Keys, former executive producer of programming at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and a board member of the cinema arts center. Tickets are $10.
Goldberger & Auletta
Paul Goldberger, the Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic, will be at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill Friday at 6 p.m. to discuss his new book, “Ballpark: Baseball in the American City,” with Ken Auletta, a writer for The New Yorker and a baseball aficionado.
The book is a history of the American national pastime told through the stories of its ever-changing ballparks. In a review in The Washington Post, Michael Lindgren noted “the elegant way Goldberger’s narrative echoes the changing tides of the American city.” Tickets are $12, free for members and students, and a book signing will follow the talk.
For those unable to catch the Parrish talk, Mr. Goldberger will be at the Jewish Center of the Hamptons in East Hampton next Thursday at 7 p.m. to discuss his new book. Tickets are $15, free for members.
