Bay Street Theatre is already starting to celebrate its 20th Season. The first Mainstage production of 2011 will be TRU, with Darrell Hammond staring as Truman Capote. The show runs May 31 - June 26. To start the 20th Season, Bay Street is pleased to announce a very special event on April 3, with all proceeds helping to support Bay Street's 20th Season. The event celebrates the East End's own Truman Capote. Beginning at 11:30 am, enjoy a fabulous "Breakfast at Tiffany's brunch" at The American Hotel with special guest "Saturday Night Lives" Darrell Hammond. Following the brunch the fun continues at the Bay Street with a champagne toast, live piano music, and a raffle with the chance for ticket buyers to this event to win a Tiffany & Co. sterling silver necklace. Plus there will be other additional raffles at the event. At 1:30 pm the film BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S will be shown on the big screen. The cost for all of this fun is $125. A $50 ticket is also available for the champagne toast, chance to win the sterling silver necklace and the film; the fun with this ticket begins at 12:30 pm at Bay Street. PLUS, come dressed as Audrey Hepburn or Holly Golightly and you may win the prize for best costume!

The brunch was generously underwritten by an anonymous donor so all proceeds for this event benefit funding for Bay Street Theatre. For tickets, call the Bay Street Administration Office at 631-725-0818 or Marylou@baystreet.org.

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961) was based on the book written by Truman Capote. It was directed by the late Blake Edwards. The screenplay was written by George Axelrod. The stars include Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal and Buddy Ebsen. The story is about a young New York socialite who becomes interested in a young man who has moved into her apartment building.
