Bay Street Theater’s Summer Gala Honorees

Bay Street Theater has announced the honorees of this year’s Summer Gala, which will take place Saturday, July 6, at the theater in Sag Harbor. The evening will be a fundraiser to support Bay Street’s numerous educational programs with this year’s honorees: Broadway show stopper Neil Patrick Harris, star of stage, screen (and food!) and his husband, Broadway actor David Burtka, and community leader Dr. Georgette Grier-Key, the executive director of the Eastville Community Historical Society in Sag Harbor.

In addition to delectable food, creative cocktails and a live auction with celebrity auctioneer Richard Kind, the evening will feature an all-star performance that will knock the socks off the audience.

“The gala is always the biggest and most important fundraising event of the year as it helps support all of the artists who work at Bay Street as well as the educational programming that lie at the center of Bay Street’s mission,” says Tracy Mitchell, the theater’s executive director. “Bay Street works hard to create inclusivity for everyone including ‘Pay What You Can Nights,’ ‘Free Student Sundays,’ free theater for schools every fall, and so much more. Bolstered by a policy that ‘Anyone who wishes to have access to the arts will have it, we promise you that your investment will go far at Bay Street Theater.’”

This year’s gala is being held in memory of Luigi Caiola, a friend and much-loved member of the theater community, as well as by his fellow Bay Street Theater board members and all who knew him.

Presale tickets are now available at early bird prices to last year’s gala attendees and those with current patron membership. Contact Kim Fink at Kim@baystreet.org or call 631-725-9500 to purchase.
