From the reviews

"StarTalk Live!" at Guild Hall was amazing. Listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson bring science and comedy together for we the audience to travel with them and learn about recent discoveries/mysteries of the universe was really great.

Enjoyed visiting the Guild Hall in East Hampton last night for a screening of “All The Presidents Men “. The 1976 classic brought back many memories of the Watergate era and reminded all of how dangerous our own government can be. A Q&A that included Alec Baldwin followed and was a great way to end a good night out .

I love Guild Hall. 🩷 Such a great variety of performances in a beautiful space. Most recently, I saw the Met in HD there, and it was wonderful. I also go to Guild Hall for the Hamptons Film Festival, to hear great music, see lovely ballet, etc.

Absolutely a sublime operatic experience, that elicited emotions most operas do not. Thank you Guild Hall for continuing to make this experience available on the End. P.S. why not invite Timothee Chalamet to another performance

Your first ballet class at Guild Hall

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
