GHTAC X LVIS: TEEN FASHION SHOW

Presented by the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council and the East Hampton Ladies’ Village Improvement Society

Sustainability meets style in this joyful celebration of creativity and care for our planet. GHTAC x LVIS: Teen Fashion Show features imaginative designs made from repurposed and upcycled materials, inspired by the Guild Hall Exhibition Claire Watson: Re-Paired.

Known for transforming found textiles and worn garments through deconstruction and reconstruction, Watson’s practice guided the creative process. Over several months, the Guild Hall Teen Arts Council (GHTAC) collaborated with the artist and LVIS volunteers, exploring recycled fabrics and patchwork-inspired techniques. They stepped into the role of designers—taking apart, reshaping, and reimagining materials into bold, wearable works.

Expect the unexpected as everyday fabrics—from worn garments to found textiles—are transformed on the runway.

A reception will follow to celebrate the culmination of the 2025-2026 Guild Hall Teen Arts Council, including complimentary frozen yogurt from Buddhaberry on Wheels!

VALENTINE’S DAY SCREENING OF THE PRINCESS BRIDE

A Tribute to Rob Reiner

This Valentine’s Day, Guild Hall invites you to fall in love all over again with a very special screening of The Princess Bride—a timeless fairytale of adventure, romance, and wit—presented as a heartfelt tribute to the film’s beloved director, Rob Reiner. Few movies have captured the imagination across generations quite like this one, blending swashbuckling heroics, unforgettable characters, and endlessly quotable lines into a story that feels as fresh and joyful today as it did upon its release.

Whether you’re arriving hand in hand for the perfect date night, sharing the magic with family, or introducing the film to a new generation on the big screen, this Valentine’s Day celebration offers something for everyone. It’s a romantic comedy without clichés, an action-adventure with heart, and a family favorite that rewards repeat viewings—especially on the big screen.

This special screening honors Rob Reiner’s enduring legacy while reminding us why The Princess Bride remains a cultural touchstone—an ideal way to spend Valentine’s Day, whether you’re coupled up, coming with friends, or simply in love with movies.

The Princess Bride

Synopsis:
A kindly grandfather sits down with his grandson and reads him a bedtime story. The story is one that has been passed down through from father to son for generations. As the grandfather reads the story, the action comes alive. The story is a classic tale of love and adventure as the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped and held against her will in order to marry the odious Prince Humperdinck, and Westley (her childhood beau, now returned as the Dread Pirate Roberts) attempts to save her. On the way he meets an accomplished swordsman and a huge, super strong giant, both of whom become his companions in his quest to rescue Buttercup.

Starring Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Christopher Guest, Wallace Shawn, André the Giant, Fred Savage, Robin Wright, Peter Falk, Carol Kane, and Billy Crystal.

YES, AND: INTRO TO IMPROV – SOLD OUT

SIX-WEEK COURSE
TUESDAYS, FEBRUARY 3-MARCH 10, 6-7:30 PM
 
Join Guild Hall’s Kayla Matters and Amy Kirwin for a six-week improv adventure—perfect for adult learners of every experience level. This course dives into the sacred principles of improv (like saying “Yes, and…” even when you deeply disagree) while helping you flex collaboration, creativity, and bold, glorious spontaneity.
 
After six weeks of controlled nonsense, you’ll present an invited sharing for friends and family—an evening where your loved ones will witness your transformation and whisper, “We don’t know what happened, but we support them.” Applause will be given. Identities may be shed. Someone might become a mailbox.
 
Bring your imagination, your humor, and a willingness to look ridiculous. (Trust us—that’s a good thing.)
 
 
Improv is distinct from stand-up comedy (which uses pre-written jokes and is performed solo) and sketch comedy (which is scripted and rehearsed). It is a team-based art form that emphasizes support, trust, and shared creativity. We will explore these core principles:
  • Yes, and…: The foundational rule of improv. Performers agree with what their partner has presented (the “yes”) and then add new information to build the scene (the “and”). This fosters a collaborative environment and keeps the scene moving forward, rather than shutting down ideas.
  • Active Listening: Since everything is unplanned, performers must listen closely to their scene partners and be present in the moment to react to new information.
  • Making Choices: Improvisers make strong, specific choices about who their character is, where they are, and what the central conflict is to establish the scene’s reality quickly.
  • Embracing Mistakes: There are no “mistakes” in improv, only unexpected offers. Performers justify whatever happens and weave it into the narrative, which helps maintain momentum and can lead to hilarious and creative turn.
