Benefit For Special Players in Art-Filled Modernist Residence

A benefit reception and auction for the East End Special Players will be held Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the home of Marie-Eve and Michel Berty at 44 Sayre’s Path in Wainscott. The Players, a group of actors with developmental challenges under the artistic direction of Jacqui Leader, have been performing for 25 years.

Guests at the reception can tour the modernist house, designed by Alfredo De Vido and Maziar Behrooz, take in the art collection, wander in the gardens, and enjoy a performance of vignettes from the troupe’s upcoming production. In addition, a film featuring the Players’ 2014 New York City appearance will be shown in the private screening room. Tickets cost $75 and can be purchased at the group’s website.
