Richard Kind
Bay Street Theatre celebrated a 20th season with their Annual Summer Benefit Gala, a sumptuous bash under a tent on the Long Wharf in Sag Harbor this past Saturday July 16th. Set against the magnificent backdrop of the evening’s sunset over the bay the ROCK THE DOCK! BENEFIT was hosted by Chris Bauer (HBO’s True Blood), Blythe Danner (“Meet the Parents’), and comedian Richard Kind (Spin City, Curb Your Enthusiasm), the guest auctioneer who had attendees dipping deep in their pockets during the live “Fantasy” auction. Celebrities attending the benefit bash included Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts, Mercedes Ruehl, Fisher Stevens and Robert Zimmerman.

The evening kicked off with cocktails, tasty hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction followed by a sit-down dinner was catered by Sterling Affair Caterers. Music and entertainment was provided by celebrity DJ Tom Finn, named “The King of Spin” by Avenue Magazine. Finn kept the dance floor packed with revelers having a lively time making the evening a truly memorable night.
