Alec Baldwin and Kate Burton will star in Noel Coward's "Private Lives" at Sag Harbor's Bay Street Theatre in July.

The theater announced Tuesday its summer season, which also includes a revival of Charles Busch's comedy, "Shanghai Moon," starring Busch and Julie Halston, and a new production of "Ain't Misbehavin'," which celebrates the music of Fats Waller and is based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr.

Baldwin and Burton will play Elyot and Amanda, a divorced couple who accidentally book adjacent hotel suites during their honeymoons with new partners. Coward's 1930 comedy has been on Broadway seven times. Bay Street's production, directed by Tony winner Jack Hofsiss, runs July 8-27.

Busch's 1999 play, set in 1931 Shanghai, is a spoof of period melodramas and features Busch as Lady Sylvia Allington. It runs June 3-29.

"Ain't Misbehavin'," scheduled for Aug. 5-31, will be directed and choreographed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge, who recently staged the world premiere of Julie Andrews' and Emma Walton's "Simeon's Gift" at Bay Street.

Tickets and subscriptions ($120-$180) are available at baystreet.org, by phone (631-725-9500) or at the theater box office through Dec. 16, after which the box office will close until Feb. 14 and tickets will only be available online.

Individual tickets are $50-$65 for the first two plays, $65-$75 for the musical. Flex passes and student passes are also available.
