Special Presentation of THE BIG CHILL
One-Night-Only Staged Reading
Guild Hall
158 Main Street in East Hampton
Following the tremendous success of last year's CWP staged reading of All the President's
Men at Guild Hall, which featured an extraordinary lineup of acclaimed actors and artists
including Alec Baldwin, Andy Cohen, Maddie Corman, Robert Downey Jr., Corey Hawkins,
Nathan Lane, Kenneth Lonergan, Julianne Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Wendell Pierce, Mark Ruffalo,
J. Smith-Cameron, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams, and Ramy Youssef
The Center at West Park is proud to continue this annual summer tradition with another
staged reading of an iconic American film.
The Center at West Park (CWP), the NYC nonprofit community and arts & culture hub, returns
to East Hampton to present a one-night-only staged reading of the beloved 1983 classic
THE BIG CHILL! CWP is located on Manhattan's Upper West Side and serves all five boroughs
of New York City.
Directed by David Saint, the staged reading will feature an all-star cast to be announced
in the coming weeks. The performance will be followed by a talkback featuring the cast,
creative team, and special guests.
Nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay (Lawrence
Kasdan & Barbara Benedek), and Best Supporting Actress (Glenn Close), THE BIG CHILL was a
defining film of the 1980s, being awarded the TIFF People's Choice Award.
In addition to Close, the film featured an all-star ensemble cast including Kevin Kline,
William Hurt, JoBeth Williams, Tom Berenger, Mary Kay Place, Jeff Goldblum and Meg Tilly.
In 2025, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by
the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."
"It's a tremendous privilege for The Center at West Park to serve audiences across New York
and continue our summer performance in East Hampton at Guild Hall," said Debby Hirshman,
Executive Director of The Center at West Park. "After the incredible response to last summer's
staged reading of All the President's Men, featuring an extraordinary cast including Robert
Downey Jr., Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams,
Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein and Alec Baldwin, CWP is excited to return with the staged reading
of The Big Chill - a timeless film whose humor, heart, and unforgettable characters continue to
resonate across generations. Guild Hall's enduring commitment to the arts and culture makes it
the perfect partner for this special tradition, and forward we're honored once again to bring
artists and audiences together to celebrate the power of great storytelling, the importance of
community, the arts and culture, affordability, inclusivity for artists and audiences alike
and support for the next generation."
This performance of THE BIG CHILL is produced by Julianne Hoffenberg alongside Hirshman,
Executive Director of The Center at West Park, and Madelyn Paquette, Resident Producer at
The Center at West Park.
Tickets for the one night-only performance range from $1,000 to $10,000 and can be purchased
beginning on Tuesday, July 14th. Sponsorship opportunities are available as well. The performance
supports CWP's ongoing affordable, accessible and intergenerational programs serving all five
boroughs and audiences and artists alike.

Guild Hall Co-Present The Center's Black Film Festival
With Special Birthday Celebration Post Screening for
The Center's Executive Director, Bonnie Michelle Cannon
Guild Hall
158 Main Street in East Hampton
Co-presented by The Bridgehampton Child Care & Recreational Center & Guild Hall,
the organizations kick off The Center's Black Film Festival with an evening of film,
music, celebration, and plenty of funk. Guests are encouraged to come dressed to
impress in their best 1970s style, funk & flair!
WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, from
its African, soul, and early jazz roots to the explosion of 1970's urban funk and
its lasting influence on music and culture. Featuring the dynamism of James Brown,
the extraterrestrial sounds of George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic, the transformation
of Labelle, and Fela Kuti's groundbreaking Afrobeat, the film celebrates the artists
and movements that made funk a cultural force while tracing its influence on new wave,
hip-hop, and generations of music that followed.
Following the screening, keep the funk going at a special post-screening party celebrating
the birthday of The Center's Executive Director, Bonnie Michelle Cannon. Come ready to dance,
celebrate, and get funky!
