Oscars & Songs at Bay Street There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but there certainly is an incredible array of free entertainment at the Bay Street Theatre this weekend. On Sunday, March 7, Bay Street presents another evening of its popular Singer/Songwriter Sundays, showcasing up-and-coming talent as well as seasoned pros performing original songs. With show time from 5-7 p.m., this early event is a great family destination that may inspire youngsters to spend a little more time practicing after those piano or guitar lessons. Following the show is a wonderful chance to share the joys of the Oscars with fellow Hamptons friends and neighbors, as Bay Street broadcasts the 82nd Annual Academy Awards on a giant screen. The Oscars present a great opportunity to ooh, oah and dish about film industry stars – always more fun in numbers. Bay Street’s free broadcast of the Oscars, cohosted by Steve Martin and our own Alec Baldwin, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. Bay Street Theatre, 1 Long Wharf, Sag Harbor. 631-725-9500. –S. Galardi

Reuben Butchart at Wolffer By Susan Galardi Candlelight Fridays at Wolffer present the opportunity to hear a variety of music performances in an intimate, unusual setting. The fact that there is no music charge makes it almost unthinkable. Under these circumstances one might assume that the performers are less than stellar. But that’s not true, as the recent concert with stride pianist Judy Carmichael proved. While the some of performers at Wolffer aren’t exactly household names, the talent I’ve heard have been solid acts. This Friday, March 5, NYC-based singer/songwriter/pianist Reuben Butchart is slated to perform selections from his forthcoming album, Nameless and Awake at Wolffer’s Tuscan tasting room. Butchart recently completed a residency at the Watermill Center, and charmed audiences at Guild Hall in the HopeStock concert. Time Out New York described his songs as “lush, string-kissed arrangements and melancholy piano lines,” adding that Butchart, who has been compared to Chet Baker and Stevie Wonder, “has the vocal chops to pull off this kind of high drama.” Butchart’s style blends together pop and ‘70s R&B with contemporary avant/indie influences. His debut album Dusk, an eclectic blend of electronic samples, R&B flourishes, and strings, received the 2003 Outmusic award for “Outstanding Debut Recording.” His second album, Golden Boy, was co-produced with Noah Simon. His third album, a product of his Watermill Center residency, features settings of John Carroll poems. Reuben Butchart at Wolffer. Friday, March 5, 5 p.m. 139 Sagg Road, Sagaponack. 631-5375106.

For college-bound theatre and acting students, age 16-20, Disher is offering a musical/straight play performance technique class on Tuesday evenings, March 9 - April 6, from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. A select group of 16 student actors will be lead through fundamentals in the class, designed to improve performance, communication and verbal skills.
