Photo Flash: Piper Perabo Leads VIP Reading of TWELFTH NIGHT at Bay Street Theater

The Bay Street Shakespeare Initiative and Hamptons Shakespeare Festival presented TWELFTH NIGHT, OR WHAT YOU WILL by William Shakespeare last Friday and Saturday nights at Mashashimuet Park in Sag Harbor, NY. The cast included Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs), who starred as Viola. Both readings were free and we well attended. Scroll down for a look at the cast onstage!

"This is our second year of free outdoor readings of Shakespeare," said Scott Schwartz, Bay Street's Artistic Director, "and we are so pleased that so many attended. We were also very proud to join with the Hamptons Shakespeare Festival this year to present the outdoor readings."

The event featured direction by Scott Schwartz, and original music and sound design by Hamptons Shakespeare Festival's Artistic Director, David M. Brandenburg.
