Beloved icon Julie Andrews and her daughter, bestselling author Emma Walton Hamilton, have written a charming celebration of the arts born from a true story in WAITING IN THE WINGS. One spring, outside of the Bay Street Theater on Long Island, NY, a family of ducks nested and hatched in a nearby planter and paraded down to the water while theater staff looked on. As co-founder of the theater, Emma was front and center that day, and WAITING IN THE WINGS takes that inspiration to depict a fun, kid-friendly story that highlights the wonders of theater – co-written by one of the greatest icons of stage and screen.

Bay Street Theater will be screening the Metropolitan Opera’s 2023–2024 season through the Met Opera: Live in HD Audiences will be able to experience spectacular productions, transmitted directly from the Met’s stage in New York City. With a mix of company premieres, new productions, and classic repertory favorites the season is set to deliver incredible performances at Bay Street.

The 10th annual Title Wave: 2024 New Works Festival returns to the stage at Bay Street Theater bringing with it four bold and exciting new plays currently in development. Dutch Masters - A Musical Music and Lyrics by Jeffrey Stock Book by Marc Acito; House of India by Deepak Kumar; The Ordeal of Water by Stephanie Alison Walker; and Polar Bears, Black Boys, & Prairie Fringed Orchids by Vincent Terrell Durham.

Like roses, family relationships are beautiful but thorny. This Pulitzer Prize and two-time Tony Award-winning play is a poignant drama set in The Bronx in 1946 about the emotional struggles and hidden tensions within a family as their son returns from service in WWII. As they confront their past and present, this timeless play explores enduring themes of reconciliation and the fragility of love.

The mixers will be the perfect casual antidote for wrapping up a weekend on the East End! Plus, attendees are invited to come early or stay after to catch a show on Bay Street's Mainstage, with Sunday matinee performances at 2 p.m. and evening performances at 7 pm. The series of events will offer creative cocktail specials, light bites, theme days, fabulous music, and LOTS OF DANCING.
