Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor presents the 10th annual Title Waves: 2024 New Works Festival. The festival will take place from Friday, May 17, through Sunday, May 19. Over the weekend, four bold, new readings—three plays and a musical—and winners of the Suffolk County teen writing competition Writing The Wave will be introduced on the Bay Street stage.
The festival is a unique showcase of new works in development and cutting-edge theater, complete with staged readings, talkbacks, and critical discussion. It provides a rare opportunity for directors and actors to work on their creations in person.
On Friday, May 17, at 6:30 PM, the winners of Writing The Wave will have their short works performed by acting professionals. At 8 PM, “The Ordeal Of Water” by Stephanie Alison Walker will be directed by Jen Wineman and feature Hannah Bonnet, Ani Mesa, and others.
