Vincent Longo had his first exhibition in New York in 1949. Since then his paintings and prints have been shown extensively and joined the collections of dozens of important museums here and abroad. During that time, from Abstract Expressionism through Pop, Minimal, Conceptual, and many other kinds of art, his work has remained resolutely his own. Not static, but driven by beliefs and principles that have informed his practice from the beginning.

“A Cavalcade of Dolls and Toys” will open Saturday at Clinton Academy in East Hampton and remain on display on Saturdays and Sundays through December.

The exhibition features dolls and toys from years past, among them a whale boat pull toy, a red fire truck, Mr. and Mrs. Weasel, Noah’s Ark, sleds, a milk pickup truck, and many more. A special feature is a Christmas village nestled beneath a tall Douglas fir, lent by an East Hampton resident who wanted to share her childhood display with the community.

Michael Wolfe, director, writer, star, and co-producer of “Maybe Tomorrow,” an independent dramatic film that has just been released on DVD, began his film career with humble ambitions. As teenagers growing up on Long Island in the early 1990s, he and his friends made skits using his father’s video camera and showed them at parties.

Guild Hall is offering an eight-session Shakespeare workshop for actors and actors-in-training beginning today at 6 p.m. and continuing through Feb. 5.

Gesture Jam, a theatrical figure-drawing class led by Andrea Cote, an artist and educator who lives in Flanders, will take place at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill tomorrow at 6 p.m. Rather than a traditional life-drawing class, Gesture Jam has models posed dramatically in various scenarios.

In “Loop Holes,” Louise Eastman’s homespun weavings and cast bricks look perfectly at home in the barn that houses the Silas Marder Gallery exhibition space in Bridgehampton. Yet they would look equally at home in some of the South Fork’s remaining untouched classic midcentury ranches, complete with linoleum floors and Formica countertops.

Jeff Muhs’s New Paintings

“Slipstream,” a new series of abstract paintings by Jeff Muhs, will open this evening at Lyons Wier Gallery in Chelsea with a reception from 6 to 8 and will remain on view through Dec. 20.

“Every other line is famous,” whispered an audience member in astonishment to her friend during a performance of the Round Table Theatre Company’s “Hamlet” at Guild Hall on Sunday.

That is true. It’s hard not to smile at lines like “To thine own self be true,” or “Frailty‚ thy name is woman‚” and a dozen other familiar phrases. Round Table has provided a program filled with welcome “fun facts” and timelines about both “Hamlet” and the life of the playwright, which should help Shakespeare virgins to feel more at ease.

The John Drew Theater Lab will stage the premiere of “Wild Horses,” an original theater piece written by Andrea Goldman, with music by Dani Campos, Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The free program is a project of the Box Collective, a New York City-based company of artists who develop and present interdisciplinary live performances.

Oenophiles, rejoice! This year has been another excellent one for the Long Island wine industry. “It was a dream,” said Roman Roth, a partner and winemaker at Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack. “It was a summer without humidity, just an amazing start and middle of the growing season. As a result, we have completely healthy fruit, no disease pressure, and that translates into pure fruit flavors and aromas and flavorful wines.”

The Joseph Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale is presenting “No One Remembers Alone: Memory, Migration, and the Making of an American Family,” an exhibition organized by Patricia Klindienst, through Feb. 1.

Ms. Klindienst, a summer resident of Amagansett, has created a visual biography of a family of Russian Jews who immigrated to the New World at the turn of the 20th century.

Carone at Washburn

The Washburn Gallery in New York City will present “Nicolas Carone: Paintings From the 1950s” today through Jan. 17, with a reception tonight from 6 to 8.

Although Mr. Carone continued to paint until his death in 2010 at 93, it was during the ’50s that he was a central figure in the New York School. He bought a house in Springs in 1954 and split his time afterward between the city and the South Fork.

Building on their strong production of “Macbeth” two years ago, Morgan and Tristan Vaughan and their Roundtable Theatre Company will now tackle “Hamlet‚” beginning tomorrow at Guild Hall.

Although one of Ms. Vaughan’s goals is to make the play more accessible to the audience, she will not abandon the classic. “We are taking out text that is not relevant, not adding text. The actors will still be fighting with swords, not guns,” she said during a break in a recent rehearsal. Ms. Vaughan is directing Mr. Vaughan, her husband, in the title role.

It can be a Herculean task to clear out a business after 33 years, but that is what Bebe and Warren Johnson did last week as they said goodbye to the Race Lane storefront of Pritam & Eames to begin a semi-retirement based online and in a new showroom on Mount Desert Island, Me.
