Guild Hall remains a significant staple in the Hamptons, particularly for aficionados of everything that is theatre and art. It's been said that this establishment is the first center in the United States to combine a theater, museum and community meeting place under one roof, thus setting an example for all regional theaters that followed in its footsteps.
Perhaps the most important structure of the establishment remains the John Drew Theater. Originally consructed in 1931, it is currently undergoing renovations (thanks to the expertise of Robert A. M. Stern Architects) which will revitalize the structure from floor to ceiling. New seating, state-of-the-art sound and lighting as well as new mechanical systems and rigging will improve the already incredible experience at the theater.
Friday night, Guild Hall proudly presented the John Drew Theater Benefit Season Opener with a jazz and theatrical performance by John Pizzarelli and Jessica Molaskey at the Maidstone Tennis Club off Further Lane in East Hampton. The evening began with cocktails and dinner, and finished with an incredible performance by the duo. All proceeds went to the renovation of the John Drew Theatre, which will continue to bring the Hamptons the finest in theatrics and arts.
