Hamptons, On Our Toes Gala and more events in August 2012….Greetings Hamptons Mouthpiece Readers…There are so many fabulous Events this August and it will take me sometime to filter through all of them, but I did want to highlight these events that I wanted to bring to your attention. Check back on Sunday for the complete list of events this August and things to do in the Hamptons that will not cost you a small fortune. My personal favorites that I really cannot wait to attend are “On our toes in the Hamptons” I am told that guests will be in for a special treat from Ron Brown and his dancers and to meet Ruby Dee. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Ruby Dee a couple of months ago and her presence is just overwhelming. The other event is Lillias White will play Maybelle Smith in BIG MAYBELLE: SOUL OF THE BLUES at Baystreet Theatre in Sag Harbor. I had the pleasure to sit in on a rehearsal and let me tell you this woman is FABULOUS..that’s right FABULOUS…the band is unreal…they are so good and this is going to be a HUGE winner this summer..
