Short Horror Film
“Mirror Man,” a short Native American horror film inspired in part by the discovery of unmarked mass graves at residential schools, will be shown at LTV Studios in Wainscott Friday at 6 p.m., followed by a discussion with the cast and crew.
The film was written and directed by Ginew Benton, a storyteller, singer, dancer, and composer of Ojibway heritage who grew up on the Shinnecock Nation Territory and graduated from Southampton High School and Stony Brook University.
The film tells the story of a Native police officer who doubts her traditional faith. Responding to a burglary, she encounters a supernatural entity that leads her to a buried secret.
Admission is by a recommended donation of $20 or more.
Merry Madoo
The Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack will hold its Merry Madoo holiday market on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., or as long as stock lasts. Among the offerings are Madoo-grown paperwhites, lady apple pomanders with velvet ribbons, and cut boughs from its garden.
Among the vendors in attendance will be Arthur Golabek Flowers, Gretchen Comly Design, Kitty Klay, and Meg Cohen. Admission is free, as are mulled cider, warm spiced wine, and chestnuts roasting on an open fire.
Holiday Concerts
Old Whalers Church in Sag Harbor is the site of two free holiday concerts this weekend. On Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Peggy DiSunno will lead 30 members of the Long Island Sound Chorus of Sweet Adelines International in a set of holiday pieces in a cappella four-part harmony.
The Sag Harbor Community Band, which consists of woodwinds, brass, lower brass, and percussion, will follow the Sweet Adelines with a set of seasonal pieces under the direction of David Brandenburg. A joint performance of “White Christmas” and “God Bless America” will conclude the evening.
On Sunday, the church will present its annual “Come Home for Christmas” community concert at 3 p.m. Conducted by Walter Klauss, the program includes the Bell Choir, vocal and instrumental solos, a harpsichord-organ duet, and carol singing by the audience.
Masks will be required for both programs.
‘Music Man’ Revival
Casting has been announced for the new Broadway revival of Meredith Wilson’s “The Music Man,” which will begin previews on Dec. 20 at the Winter Garden Theatre and open on Feb. 10.
The lead characters, Harold Hill and Marian Paroo, will be played by Hugh Jackman, whose new East Hampton house is featured in the November issue of Architectural Digest, and Sutton Foster, a Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning singer and actor, known most recently for her lead role in the television series "Younger."
The original production won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, when it opened on Broadway in 1957.
