Bay Street Theater is recently announced the three 2015 Mainstage Summer Season productions.

The season begins on May 26 and runs through August 30.

The Mainstage season will begin with the World Premiere of The New Sincerity/A New Comedy by Alena Smith, directed by Bob Balaban.

The production will run from May 26 to June 14.

The second mainstage production is Other People’s Money/A Drama by Jerry Sterner, directed by Lonny Price and starring Jason Alexander.

The production will run from June 23 to July 26.

The mainstage season will end with Grey Gardens/A Musical, with music by Scott Frankel, lyrics by Michael Korie, and book by Doug Wright, directed by Michael Wilson.

The production will run August 4 to August 30.

“These three works are portraits of America, explorations of our need for social and financial success. They are stories about how love factors into this need, and struggles with it. They are visions of different eras in our country, but all speak to today through the times in which they’re set,” Scott Schwartz, artistic directors aid. “We are proud to offer our audience a world premiere as part of the season, continuing our commitment to making Bay Street a center for new works for the theater. And we are delighted to welcome the distinguished and dazzling artists Jason Alexander, Bob Balaban, Lonny Price, Alena Smith, and Michael Wilson to our stage.”

The 2015 Mainstage Season is sponsored in part by New York State through the generosity of Assemblyman Fred Thiele and State Senator Kenneth P. LaValle; the New York State Council on The Arts, a State Agency; Town of Southampton; The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust; The Shubert Foundation; and fully or partially funded by the Suffolk County Executive’s Office. Additional support for the musical comes from Adrianne and Jerry Cohen.

Preview weeks for all three productions are sponsored by Peconic Landing.

Support for new work comes from The Scott Schwartz New Development Fund and the Joseph Stein New Musical Fund.
