Here are the top stories today in East Hampton:

1. COVID-19 testing resumes at East Hampton Town Hall Campus; the Wainscott site is closed. Care One Concierge is offering free saliva and nasal PCR tests, with no appointment required, at the Town Hall campus. (Press Release Desk)
2. A 'Macbeth' For Plague Times. Bay Street Theater's series returns this fall with Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Although this performance is strictly a streaming event (available now through Dec. 5 on the Bay Street website), it is a step forward technically from last year's "Moby-Dick," which was available only by Zoom. (East Hampton Star)
3. Early Peconic Photographs Auctioned. The Henry Fitz Jr. Archive of Photographic History was formed between 1840 and 1842, with portraits of Fitz and his family that are some of the earliest known portraits taken in America. The lot had an estimated sales price of $150,000 to $300,000 and sold for the high estimate. (East Hampton Star)
4. Things To Do In The Hamptons This Week: Nov. 19–22. Plan a weekend full of fun events, live shows, art exhibitions, outdoor activities and more in the Hamptons. (Dan's Papers)
