Welcome to the East End Special Players, Inc. Newsletter.

This Newsletter was created to provide information on the East End Special Players. This Newsletter, updated twice yearly, provides a quick and easy way for you to stay up to date and get the latest information wherever and whenever you need it.

In 2004 the East End Special Players began rehearsals on a new piece that is realized through experimental theatre. The concept was to introduce the Players to the world of avant-garde theatre and started off in a Fall workshop with Artistic Director Jacqui Leader who helped draw from the Players their thoughts and feelings about their lives. Using live musicians and original music, Artistic Director, Jacqui Leader and Staff have woven together a theatrical piece from the actor’s stories.

On November 20,2004 You Are A Petunia In My Garden opened to a sold out house at Guild Hall in East Hampton.

We need your support to realize this dream. Please support the East End Special Players today by making your tax deductible contribution. EESP will acknowledge your kind support in our performance program, unless, of course you indicate that you prefer to keep your contribution anonymous. In either case we are extremely grateful.

This is, by far, the most ambitious project the Players have taken on and reflects like no other the goals and mission of the East End Special Players.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT US

“It was a charming production [The Legend of Deirdre]. It brought tears to my eyes, and my husband’s too”, says Mary Ann Karoussus,
 a member of the audience.

 “I’m impressed,” adds Patti Love, a Mise Erie Irish Dance instructor. “Two of the dancers wrote their college entrance essays about the players and their collaboration with them. Their teachers forwarded the papers to the superintendent.” 

“Love was spilling over everywhere on Sunday afternoon at Guild Hall when the East End Special Players presented their play, From King Arthur With Love,”
wrote Marion Wolberg Weiss in her review in Dan’s Papers.

. “There are many reasons why I am in theatre. The East End Special is one…[Their] production of The Mikado in Mime moved me to reach out, to hold and to love,”
says Bradlee E. Bing, Executive Artistic Director of Theatre Three. 

“I believe that this is a very worthy project that you are performing. Good Luck!”
