What do Lesley Gore ("It's My Party", "You Don't Own Me") and the musicals HAIR and DAMES AT SEA have in common? Each are a groovy and fab representation of the music of their era AND will be a part of Bay Street Theatre's Summer Gala Benefit Bash - Sailing Back to the 60's - on Saturday, July 18th on the Long Wharf in Sag Harbor. DIG IT!

The Summer Gala has earned a reputation as "Best of the Best - Event of the Year" (Dan's Papers, 2007 and 2008) and this year's event promises to be no exception as Lesley Gore (60's hit maker of "It's My Party") makes a special guest appearance at this not-to-be-missed evening! Festivities include cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and a sit-down dinner catered by Sterling Affair, dancing to the sounds of The Denice Given Band and fabulous entertainment taking you on a magical mystery tour of the 60's with song and dance. Guests will be tempted with a wide array of items at the Silent and Live "Fantasy" Auction including a Walk-On in "Dames at Sea", a cruise on a fabulous yacht, artwork, jewelry, sporting tickets; sports and celebrity memorabilia, a children's birthday party, house seats from some of Broadway's hottest shows and much more.
