This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Azul, a beautiful tile-based game about building a mosaic wall. In Azul, players take turns strategically selecting colorful tiles from a common supply available to all players. At the end of each round, acquired tiles are slid over into each player’s mosaic wall and points are scored based on connecting tiles. Azul, 2018’s game of the year, is a great, easy game to learn and has beautiful, tactile pieces to play with. Join us at Game Night with Game Master Noah Salaway this Monday, April 29 at 6pm for only $10. We’ll have free snacks from Cavaniola’s Gourmet and your first free beverage from Montauk Brewing Co. Get your tickets now at guildhall.org - ages 16+ only. Sponsored in part by The Rima+Ryan Team at Douglas Elliman Real Estate. #thisisguildhall

The Kronos Quartet is playing live at Guild Hall! Oscar-nominated filmmakers Sam Green and Joe Bini team up with Grammy-winning Kronos Quartet for a wildly creative multimedia performance piece in our intimate John Drew Theater that blends live music and narration with archival footage and filmed interviews with such prominent artists as Philip Glass, Tanya Tagaq, Steve Reich, Wu Man and Terry Riley. �As Green tells the multi-decade and continent-spanning story of the groundbreaking string quartet, Kronos revisits its extensive body of work, performing music by George Crumb, Aleksandra Vrebalov and many others. Together on stage, Green and Kronos interact with the stirring cinematic imagery on screen to craft an important record and exploration of late 20th– and early 21st–century music. Transcending the typical live music and film event, this collaboration quickly becomes a meditation on music itself – the act of listening to it closely, the experience of feeling it deeply, and the power that it has to change the world. Written and Directed by Sam Green and Joe Bini. Co-presented with Hamptons International Film Festival. Friday, June 21 at 8pm - get your tickets now at guildhall.org/kronos #thisisguildhall

We begin every Game Night with Happy Salmon and as you can see it’s a lot of fun! Tonight at 6pm Game Master Noah Salaway leads us through this month’s game. “Monikers is pretty simple: get your friends to guess the name on the card. Each team has 60 seconds to get through as many weird names as they can. In the first round, you can say anything you want but the card name. In the second, you can only use one word. And in the third, you can’t say anything at all - just charades. The same cards are used in each round, so by the end of the game, you’ve made a bunch of hilarious jokes together.” Don’t miss this hysterical night of fun for ages 17 and up with free snacks by @cavaniolasgourmetand your first free drink courtesy of @montaukbrewco 😎 Proudly sponsored by @rima.ryan.team The Rima + Ryan Team @douglaselliman ❤️ Tickets at guildhall.org #thisisguildhall

The audience didn't stop clapping and shouting “bravo!” and “encore!” until Javier belted out the aria one more time complete with 9 more high C’s to appease opera fans.

An epic night of Broadway with KING KONG is the final item in our Holiday Auction ending January 3rd! Head over to guildhall.org/charity-auction/ or search “Guild Hall” at charitybuzz.com to check out all of our items. The epic modern myth comes alive on Broadway through an innovative mix of animatronics, puppetry, music and stagecraft! It’s 1931, (the year Guild Hall first opened its doors) the world is in the grip of the Great Depression, and New York City is a place of pressure, of desperation, but also of hope. Enter Ann Darrow, a fearless young actress with a will of steel and dreams that reach as high as the just-completed Empire State Building. After a brutal struggle just to stay on her feet, Ann finds her big break in the form of Carl Denham, a fast-talking filmmaker who promises to make her the star of his next big adventure movie. Throwing caution to the winds, she joins Carl on a voyage to the mysterious Skull Island. There, they encounter a wonder more astonishing than they could have possibly imagined: a 20-foot-tall, 2,000-pound ape known only as Kong. To her surprise, Ann finds an unexpected kindred spirit in this magnificent, untamable creature. But when Carl hatches a plan to capture Kong and display him to the New York masses, she’s faced with a terrible choice. Will Ann follow the call of her own ambition? Or can she find the strength to stand up for what’s right? Roaring with heart-pounding action, KING KONG is a gripping and spectacular story of unlikely friendship, unshakable courage, and breaking free from the cages others put us in. Directed and choreographed by Olivier winner Drew McOnie, KING KONG features an electrifying new score by Marius de Vries (La La Land) and Eddie Perfect (Beetlejuice The Musical), and a book by Jack Thorne, the Tony® and Olivier Award-winning writer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
