Bobby SteggertTony nominated actor Bobby Steggert soon to be seen with Christopher Walken, Selma Blair and Mia Farrow in Todd Solondz’s Dark Horse is currently having a ball in the new production of Christopher Durang’s outrageous comedy “Betty’s Summer Vacation” at Bay Street Theater. Trip Cullman directs the comedy which chronicles the way Betty’s idea of a summer vacation is blown to bits when her house mates begin to file in. One after another, each inhabitant of the house share begins to show their true colors which are simply psycho-delic. Sort of your typical Hamptons share house! On Sunday, July 10 from 4 -5 pm, you can meet the cast which includes Tony nominees Veanne Cox & Celia Keenan-Bolger, Tom Riis Farrell, John Behlmann, Heidi Schreck, Jacob Hoffman and Kate O’Phalen at the ArtHamptons VIP Lounge at 154 Snake Hollow Road in Bridgehampton.
