Bay Street Theater will host “The Teeming Autumn,” an outdoor performance and benefit dinner showcasing some of the most famous and beloved scenes, sonnets, and soliloquies of William Shakespeare, on Saturday, October 3, from 4 to 6 p.m. on the grounds of Christ Episcopal Church in Sag Harbor.
Performers and attendees will be spaced out in a safe and social-distanced setting under the oak tree on the church’s front lawn on the corner of High Street and Hampton Street. With performances by five actors from Bay Street’s stage, “The Teeming Autumn” highlights a compilation of scenes, sonnets, and soliloquies from the works of William Shakespeare that are reflective of the autumn season. The program for the evening includes selections from such tragedies as “Macbeth” and “Hamlet”; comedies such as “Twelfth Night,” ‘As You Like It” and “The Merchant of Venice”; and histories such as “Henry V’ and ‘Richard II”; in addition to “Sonnet #73” and “Sonnet #116.” Performers include Bay Street’s director of education Allen O’Reilly, professional theater instructor and actor Teresa DeBerry, and actors Amanda Kristin Nichols, Xavier Pacheco and Chauncy Thomas.
Tickets are $800 per group of four or $400 for two, and include a catered dinner by Calissa in Water Mill. Rain date is scheduled for Sunday, October 4. For more information, contact Director of Development Kim Fink at kim@baystreet.org.
