Bay Street Will Showcase New Season in Manhattan

Bay Street Theater’s sixth annual Honors Benefit: Curtain Up! will take place on May 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater in Manhattan.

After an hour of cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, Scott Schwartz, Bay Street’s artistic director, will host a preview of the Sag Harbor theater’s 2017 summer Mainstage season, with performances of songs and bits of scenes from the upcoming productions. The evening will also honor the actor Richard Kind and the cartoonist and writer Jules Feiffer. Tickets are priced from $150 to $500.

Bay Street has also issued a call for volunteer ushers for the Mainstage season, concerts, the Comedy Club, Music Mondays, play readings, and special events. A meeting for those interested will be held next Thursday in the theater’s lobby.
