Which TV show? Just guess — or show up Monday night, sign a release and find out.
They're not wasting time at the Sand Bar & Grill. Just opened for the season, the Oak Bluffs harborside nightspot has already hosted a "Mad Men" benefit for Martha's Vineyard Community Services and has more big plans for Monday, according to a Facebook update from the establishment: "On Monday evening, we will have an evening of filming at Sand Bar Martha's Vineyard. The TV show will remain unnamed for legal reasons. Come by, sign a release, and be a star!" While Sand Bar's not naming the show, Patch is guessing it's the one that's been making local headlines since we broke the story in February: Sand Bar is located at 6 Circuit Ave. Extension on the harbor in Oak Bluffs: 508-693-7111.

An upcoming television series set on Martha's Vineyard needs several production assistants here in May and June. Are you organized, reliable and knowledgable about the Island? Here's updated contact information for the job.
Show business is calling, Martha's Vineyard.
