Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor has announced the honorees of this year’s Summer Gala, which will take place on Saturday, July 6. The evening will be an extravaganza to support Bay Street’s numerous educational programs with this year’s honorees, including Broadway showstopper Neil Patrick Harris, actor and chef David Burtka, and outstanding community leader Dr. Georgette Grier-Key.
In addition to delectable food, creative cocktails, and a live auction with celebrity auctioneer Richard Kind, the evening will feature an all-star performance.
“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,” said Tracy Mitchell, Bay Street’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.”
Gala co-chairs for this year’s fundraiser are David Fink and Flora Schnall. This year’s gala is being held in memory of Luigi Caiola, dear friend and much-loved member of the theater community, as well as by his fellow Bay Street Theater Board of Trustees and all who knew him.
Pre-sale tickets are now available at early bird prices for last year’s gala attendees and those with current Patron Membership. Tickets go on sale to the general public on April 1.
