Tony winner Scott Wittman and the Slattery family begin rehearsals for THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES

THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES has begun rehearsals at the Bay Street Theater and the Sag Harbor Center for the Arts. See photos from the rehearsal inside.

THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES begins previews on May 28, with a red carpet premiere on June 1, with talkbacks on June 4 and June 11, and runs through June 16.

THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Frank D. Gilroy, kicks off Bay Street’s Mainstage season and will star the real-life family of John Slattery, wife Talia Balsam and their son Harry Slattery; and is directed by Broadway veteran and multiple Tony Award winner Scott Wittman.

Like roses, family relationships are beautiful but tricky. Set in The Bronx in 1946, this two-time Tony Award-winning play is a gripping drama about the emotional struggles and hidden tensions within a family as their son returns from service in World War II. As they confront their past and present, this timeless piece explores enduring themes of reconciliation and the fragility of love.

Single-show tickets are currently available starting at $45 or as part of a subscription to Bay Street’s Mainstage Season. To purchase tickets, visit or call the Box Office, open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., at 631.725.9500 or visit BayStreet.org 24/7.
