“Top Drawer” is Adelaide Mestre’s award-winning one-woman show about her journey to Cuba to seek out her dead father’s piano. The instrument was left behind when he and his family fled the Castro regime in 1960.

With sentiment and humor, Mestre spins a tale of family dysfunction and redemption, sharing her discovery that art can be a kind of alchemy that transmutes loss and abandonment into freedom. On Thursday, April 7, at 7 p.m., Mestre, a Sag Harbor resident, will perform “Top Drawer” as a fundraiser at Bay Street Theater and she will donate all proceeds from the evening to the Sag Harbor Elementary School PTA. The performance is directed by Coco Cohn, and Doug Oberhamer will provide piano accompaniment.

Tickets for the performance are $40. Visit shespta2018.memberhub.com to purchase. Bay Street Theater is on Long Wharf in Sag Harbor.
