Sag Harbor NY

Sag Harbor, New York

I am so grateful that I decided to spend a couple of days vacationing in the Hamptons after the Stony Brook Southampton Children’s Literature Conference was over. (If you missed my post about the conference, you may read it here.) It was a lovely area in which to relax. Emma had given me a list of things to do and places to see that I think would have kept me happily busy for a couple of weeks rather than a couple of days! As it was, because I’m not used to the heat and humidity, I wasn’t able to do as much as I would have liked. So I will keep the rest of Emma’s list for next time, and look forward to next time coming as soon as possible! I did get to have some delightful experiences and meet some wonderful people, though.

Bay Street Theatre — “Men’s Lives” in the Spotlight

Twenty years ago, Emma Walton Hamilton, her husband Steve Hamilton, and their friend and colleague Sybil Christopher realized a dream when they opened the Bay Street Theatre in Sag Harbor, New York. (Note: the article about Sybil Christopher, from 1994, is very long, but is fascinating, uplifting reading. Take the time to drink it in.)   Bay Street Theatre stands at the conjunction of Bay Street and Main Street at the top of Long Wharf in the charming town of Sag Harbor, which is part of the Hamptons area on Long Island. It is a beautiful setting. The view from Long Wharf is the perfect mood-setter for the play I saw, Men’s Lives.
