The Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor is wrapping up its spring weekend series on Saturday with "Julie2," an evening of comedy and song with the actress and comedienne Julie Halston and the songwriter and performer Julie Gold.

This new show was created for Bay Street and will be directed by Murphy Davis, the theater's producer.

Ms. Halston has played in New York City at Caroline's, Cafe Largo, and the Russian Tea Room. Her successful run at the nightclub Eighty-Eights earned her the first of a number of musical comedy awards.

She began her career as a founding member of Charles Busch's Theater-on-Limbo company, starring in such Off Broadway productions as "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" and "Red Scare on Sunset," for which she won a Drama Desk nomination. She also wrote and starred in "Julie Halston's Lifetime of Comedy" for six months Off Broadway, receiving a Best Comedy nomination from the Outer Critics Circle.

Ms. Gold is perhaps best known for her hit song "From a Distance." Her songs have been recorded by Bette Midler, Nanci Griffith, Patti LaBelle, Judy Collins, and others.

Performance time is 7 p.m. Tickets can be ordered in advance by calling the box office.
