Bay Street Fete
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater will hold “Curtain Up!” — its fifth annual Honors Benefit — on Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater in Manhattan.
Hosted by Scott Schwartz, Bay Street’s artistic director, the event will honor Ana R. Daniel, the theater’s founding chairwoman, and feature presentations and performances by some of the stars and creators of this summer’s Mainstage productions: “The Forgotten Woman,” “The Last Night of Ballyhoo,” and “My Fair Lady.”
The evening will include an hour of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and the “Curtain Up!” presentation. Tickets range in price from $150 for bar seating to $3,000 for a V.I.P. table of six.
Bay Street has also announced the cast and creative team for “The Forgotten Woman,” the new play by Jonathan Tolins that will have its world premiere at the theater from May 21 through June 19.
Ashlie Atkinson, an award-winning veteran of stage, screen, and television, will play the role of Margaret Meier, a gifted soprano on the verge of a major operatic career. The cast will also include Darren Goldstein, Mark Junek, and Justin Park. Noah Himmelstein will direct.
Mr. Himmelstein, Mr. Tolins, and Mr. Goldstein will be among the participants in “Curtain Up!” as will James Lecesne, author and star of “The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey,” and the actors Kelli Barrett, Amanda Nichols, Rafi Silver, and Bobby Conte Thorton.
