  • Christmas is Done, But the Fun’s Just Begun! Late December /Early January Things to Do Over Holiday Break Along the Great South Bay
  • The creator of The Happy Elf is none other than Harry Connick Jr.  (born September 11, 1967), an American singer, pianist, composer, actor, and former television host. As of 2019, he has sold over 30 million records worldwide. Connick's best-selling album in the United States is his Christmas album When My Heart Finds Christmas (1993). Harry Connick Jr.’s “The Happy Elf” at Babylon’s Argyle Theater is a Holiday Must-See
  • On Sundays in 1962, television host Chuck McCann, would read the New York Sunday News, which featured the cartoon character Little Orphan Annie. He wore white circular discs over his eyes to portray Annie as he read the comic strip aloud. Such an oddity to me back then, those discs affixed to the eyes scared me. It even led me to dislike the Little Orphan Annie comic strip. However, seeing the production of Annie at the Argyle Theatre, directed by Valerie Wright, completely changed my mindset. “Annie” at Babylon’s Argyle Theatre
