In this triumphant legend, love transcends language, time and place. While Manhattan’s west side rumbles with the clash of Jets and Sharks, Maria and Tony seek “a somewhere” their romance can thrive. In their revolutionary work that changed the course of the American musical, Bernstein, Sondheim and Laurents bring their award winning genius to the immortal story of star-crossed lovers caught in a turf war of rival ethnic gangs.

St. Mark’s Cellar Classic will feature a live auction conducted by John Glines of more than 100 superb wines including seven bottles rated 100-points by critics.
Bountiful gourmet hors d’oeuvres will be offered accompanied by live entertainment. There will also be a silent auction of other wines, wine-related gifts and vacation packages. All food, wines, auction items and other expenditures associated with the Cellar Classic are being donated by members and friends of St. Mark’s so that all proceeds will go directly to the church to support its community programs and services such as a meeting place for the area’s Jewish congregation, Food Bank, Valley Community Theatre and recovery groups. According to Church Rector Rev. Dr. Randall Day, “We actively support the arts with our own chamber and summer music series and hosts exhibitions of photography and painting. Our Preschool provides top-flight early childhood education. We embrace a spacious Christianity where there is room for absolutely everyone.”
