There will be seating in bleachers, but the public is invited to bring their own chairs and pack picnics and blankets to enjoy the production under the stars. An additional VIP performance will also be staged on Aug. 16 at a private, oceanfront estate. Tickets to the exclusive event can be purchased by calling (631) 725-0818, ext. 112.

In addition to Perabo, the cast will included Julia Motyka as Olivia, Josh Gladstone as Sir Toby Belch and Kate Mueth as Maria. Further casting to be announced soon.

"Last summer, the Bay Street Shakespeare Initiative’s outdoor reading of The Tempest starring John Glover was one of the highlights of our season," commented Schwartz in a press statement. "I’m so excited this summer to partner with Hamptons Shakespeare Festival, and to work with Piper Perabo and the rest of a marvelous cast as we present Twelfth Night, one of the Bard’s most romantic and delightful comedies, outside under the stars in Sag Harbor."
