Winter Salon Series At The Southampton Inn

A Winter Salon Series at the Southampton Inn featured works in progress, including comedy, monologues, music, and stories.

Hosted and produced by writer, comedian, and Emmy award-winning producer Angela LaGreca, it featured monologues written by Joy Behar (award-winning comedian and co-host of “The View”) and performed by Behar, Academy-award-winning actress Mercedes Ruehl, and Broadway and television star Tovah Feldshuh.

The monologues were based on interviews Behar conducted with women about their lives. New York Times best-selling author Steven Gaines told entertaining stories about the Hamptons, and musical director Lenny Babbish shared his story about working with Leonard Bernstein and a laugh-out-loud parody about aging he wrote called “(Not) A Lot of Livin’ To Do.”

LaGreca opened the show with standup and then weaved a dramatic and hilarious tale about the role of music and the “Ave Maria” in her life. The sold-out event featured light bites and cocktails.
