From Sag Harbor to Southampton, Bay Street Theatre is lighting up TWO stages with theatre, chats with local luminaries, music and more! With its hit American Premiere production of DINNER, playing now through August 2nd on the Sag Harbor stage, and MOTHERHOOD OUT LOUD, a new developmental piece which premieres this week at the new Bay Street @ The Parrish location, there is truly something for everyone.

The summer is in full swing, and with it, a new relationship between Bay Street Theatre and The Parrish Art Museum is bringing an exciting developmental theater space to Southampton. Baystreet@The Parrish Art Museum will feature a 99-seat café-style theater for new plays in development and premieres with Motherhood Out Loud, running for three nights only-July 30, 31, and August 1st.

Rose and Joan Stein, produced by Ms. Rose, Ms. Stein, Renee Landegger and Judith Resnick, directed by Lisa Peterson, and written by more than 15 writers, will have a special work-in-progress, 3-performance engagement as part of Bay Street Theatre's 2009 'Bay Street at the Parrish' season.
