Comedy and Fashion
Dulce Sloan, an award-winning comedian and the senior correspondent on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” will bring her unique perspective on society and personal relationships to Guild Hall on Saturday at 7 p.m.
An Emmy nominee and two-time N.A.A.C.P. Image Award-winner, Ms. Sloan is one of the voices on the animated Fox sitcom “The Great North.” Of her book “Hello, Friends!: Stories of Dating, Destiny, and Day Jobs,” published in February, Publishers Weekly wrote, “Sloan debuts with a collection of brash and funny reflections on finding comedy success and the personal and professional hurdles she overcame on the way there.”
Tickets are $40 to $60, $36 to $54 for members.
Stan Herman, a three-time Coty Award-winning clothing designer who recently turned 94, will be at Guild Hall on Sunday at 2 p.m. for a conversation with Fern Mallis, the creator of New York Fashion Week.
The two fashion notables will talk about Mr. Herman’s memoir, “Uncross Your Legs: A Life in Fashion,” as well as his personal and professional life. After the talk, copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
Tickets are $25, $22.50 for members.
All About Jazz
East End Jazz, which is dedicated to appreciating jazz through both performance and education, will present “Curious About Jazz,” an interactive experience featuring a jazz quartet and workshop, on Saturday afternoon at 5, at the Bridgehampton Museum.
Olivia Foschi, a vocalist, and Iris Ornig, a bassist, will be joined by two other musicians to perform songs from the Great American Songbook. The audience will be invited to participate in a workshop that promises to “unlock your improvisational spirit.”
Tickets, at $30, can be bought from a link on the museum’s website.
Song Fest Sold Out
The third annual Sag Harbor Song Festival, three days of performances by accomplished opera singers set to open tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. at The Church in Sag Harbor, is sold out. A waiting list can be accessed on the venue’s website.
Vegas in Sag Harbor
“A Touch of Vegas,” a satirical lounge act parody starring Genna Ryan and Kyle Lopez Barisich, will make its South Fork debut at Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theater on Saturday at 8 p.m.
Set firmly in the mockumentary tradition, the show stars Trent and Trudy Lee, eccentric Christian crooners who work the Las Vegas Strip. After 30 years as a duo both on and offstage, and a set list of favorites like “Conga,” “All Night Long,” and “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off,” the Lees will happily share their tales from the conservative cabaret circuit.
Tickets are $37 to $47 in advance, $47 to $57 the day of the show.
Rock Opera at LTV
In September 1970, three passengers in The Free Life, a hot-air balloon, took off from a Springs pasture in an attempt to be the first balloonists to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Sadly, the balloon went down in a storm off Newfoundland some 30 hours later.
Dan Koontz, an East Hampton musician and composer, has commemorated the event with a rock opera, “The Free Life,” which premiered last September at LTV Studios in Wainscott. On Saturday at 7 p.m., “The Free Life” will have an encore concert staging there.
Mr. Koontz will be joined onstage by James Bernard, Sue Conklin, Fred Gilde, Andrew Koontz, Sara Mundy, Steve Shaunessey, and Bruce Beyer. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door.
Call for Vocalists
The Choral Society of the Hamptons will hold auditions for new singers on Monday at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church. Auditions consist of rhythm, pitch, and sight-reading evaluation, as well as a short prepared piece of the singer’s choice (accompaniment available).
The society’s Dec. 15 holiday concert, directed by Walter Klauss, will feature works by Benjamin Britten, Buxtehude, and Vaughan Williams. Rehearsals take place at the church on Mondays from 7 to 9:30 p.m.
Appointments to audition can be made by calling 631-204-9402 or by email to [email protected].
Singers invited to join can attend the first rehearsal for the holiday concert on Sept. 30 at the church before committing to the group.
Glitter and Doom
Guy Trebay, who has chronicled high and low culture for The New York Times, The Village Voice, Interview, and The New Yorker, will be at the Madoo Conservancy in Sagaponack on Saturday at 5 p.m. for a reading and discussion of his new book, “Do Something: Coming of Age Amid the Glitter and Doom of ‘70s New York.”
Publishers Weekly called the book “a rich portrait of the city and its characters,” while Kirkus Reviews termed it “a generous and deeply felt memoir.”
Mr. Trebay will be joined by Justin Spring, a writer who specializes in 20th-century American art and culture. Tickets are $25, $22.50 for members.
