th birthday party like this before.
When Guild Hall, the East Hampton arts center, opens this summer, it’s going to celebrate its milestone birthday with a season packed with heavy hitting programming including theater, visual art, film, dance, and more.
On May 23, the season at Guild Hall will open with a virtual poetry performance piece called “Reawakenings,” which will be directed by Paul Hecht and will feature an all-star cast—including Salman Rushdie, Cherry Jones, Michael Stuhlbarg, Mercedes Ruehl, and more—each performing a poem that’s paired with a piece from the institution’s permanent collection of visual art.
