On Saturday, July 16, Bay Street Theater hosted “A Night In The Tropics,” a mini gala dinner and reception, at the home of the theater’s board of trustee Stewart Lane and Bonnie Comley. The evening was held in honor of legendary actors Harris Yulin and Mercedes Ruehl, who were both handed The Joel Grey Lifetime Achievement Award. Acclaimed playwright Madeline Myers was joined by actress Julia Motyka to perform several songs from her bound-for-Broadway musical, “Double Helix.”
The evening was another in a series of mini gala dinners Bay Street is hosting in lieu of its normal 500-person summer gala on Long Wharf. These intimate VIP dinners and receptions are held at private residences of Bay Street Theater board members, patrons, and members of the theater-loving community.
