Description

Bay Street Theater is pleased to announce the launch of The Bay Street Shakespeare Initiative with the presentation of two outdoor staged readings of THE TEMPEST, starring Tony Award winner John Glover as Prospero, on August 16 and 17. This initiative is an ongoing program, which offers exciting performances and educational opportunities focusing on the work of William Shakespeare at Bay Street Theater.

On Saturday, August 16, Bay Street will host the first performance of The Tempest starring John Glover beginning at 7 pm at a location to be announced. This reading is offered to the community at no charge. There will be seating in bleachers, but guests are invited to bring their own chairs, picnics and blankets to enjoy this special sunset production under the stars.

The second performance will be a VIP benefit on Sunday, August 17 to be held overlooking the water at a private waterfront estate on Shelter Island, New York. The event includes a reception with the cast, and the evening begins at 6:30 pm with cocktails followed by The Tempest reading at 7 pm.
